[Debian-l10n-devel] Bug#682466: virtaal: Adding Debian compendia as terminology file is very slow

[Omar Campagne]

Hello Fernando:

Thanks for your bug report. I've noticed this issue a few times with 
long files,
please take into consideration that the compendia-po file is unnaturraly 
long,
you'll hardly find a file that  big anywhere else, and I think it's a 
bit normal
that it takes its time (I know it's a lot of time, I did the same than you).

I think this is more or less normal. For example, I translate professionally
with SDL Trados, a 300€ l10n beast... yet it's very slow on long files, and
I mean files much shorter than compendia-po.

I acknowledge that sometimes it can be too slow (it can get slow with a 500
strings, 30.000 words file, though I hardly find sthg that big in the
professional world).

Nevertheless, I will pass this bug to upstream, to see if they can look into
it.

You can try playing with the command tmserver, which can help you
import a file directly to the tm.

Regards,

Omar
