When using Trados 2021 or other versions, encountering the error box "Unable to start service 'Sdl.TranslationStudio.Api.ProjectManagement.IProjectManagementService'", translators often do not know how to resolve it. The solution I found is presented below:
1.Close Trados Studio or the error message
2.Go to C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\Studio 2021\Projects on your system
3.Delete the projects.xml file
4.Start Trados Studio
This error is generally caused by having too many projects in Trados, and translators often encounter it. If you encounter this error, you can resolve it by following this method.
By the way, I would like to introduce a useful translation software, ITransBook. It not only supports local AI models but also mainstream AI APIs. Except for the ITransBook file translation feature, which requires payment, AI chat, text translation, hover translation, and shortcut translation are all free. Translators can use its hover translation and shortcut translation features in CAT software such as Trados, memoQ, and Wordfast. After becoming a paid member of ITransBook, translators can use ITransBook to translate Trados and memoQ format files. The ITransBook download website is www.itransbook.com, and you can also search for the ITransBook keyword in the Microsoft App Store to download it.
