project size limitations?

Post by felipe »

Hi everyone,

We're testing Flare/Lingo and I'm running into some performance slow downs when creating projects for our largest books. I'm seeing over 250,000 words by one estimate and am not sure if this is very large for Lingo to handle. I've only been able to try with one language so far, but have seen things like my mouse moving slowly at times like the computer is thinking. I don't want this thing to crash on export or be incomplete or something. I've tried adding another language to this large project and the progress bar didn't move for hours.

Has anybody else experienced this or know what are the size limits of Lingo projects? It shouldn't be my PC, 8GB of memory for a 32 bit application is plenty. I do have the evaluation license but I didn't see anything about a limited version.

Felipe,

most of the limitations will depend on your computer. Case in point I just completed two 700K plus words projects. I have a 64 bit machine with 16 GB RAM and I did not run into an issue yet.

Thanks Uwe, that's good to hear. Just curious, how many languages do you have for the single large project?

Felipe,

I cant really go into too much detail here but what I can tell you is that I am handling currently up to 24 languages depending on the project. Lets just say I have a rather large SQL environment for translation set up.

I am testing Lingo. My machine is 64 bit and has 8 GB of RAM.

Lingo is freezing, or at least incredibly slow. Leave it alone long enough and it eventually loads the project.

Can anyone provide realistic guidelines for the system requirements (NOT the official ones).

For those that run Lingo successfully, what system setup is working for you?

Thanks
P
