I have installed the latest version of OmegaT and now find the TM file for my latest project is too big for the memory.
I understand I need to edit the batch file to increase the memory, but where do I find it exactly please?

Hi Andrew,
I can not answer your question but additional information may be helpful.
What is your operating system Windows (XP, Vista), Linux or Mac?
And about the latest build of OmegaT, is it the Beta version 1.8.1?

SITE LOCALIZER | You can't do anyhing about TM size, | Nov 5, 2008 |
but you can increase the initial Java memory size as follows (make a batch file containing the following string and put it into the directory where OmegaT.jar resides):
Code:
| java -server -Xmx256m -jar OmegaT.jar |

Try experimenting with the second parameter, by replacing 256 with another value in megabytes (a rule of finger: set double to your RAM).

Hi thanks for these.
I am running Windows XP and OmegaT 1.8.1 beta, plus the latest version of Java.
I have now located the MS DOS batch file. When I open it up I see there is only one line in it however - re\bin\javaw -jar OmegaT.jar %*
Can I type the code you quoted in here instead of making a batch file, please?
If not, how do I make a batch file?
TIA

SITE LOCALIZER | You can do both | Nov 5, 2008 |
Either replace the code of the existing file with my sample, or open a text editor paste into it my line and save as anyfilename.bat. Good luck!

Thanks, did exactly as you suggest - same problem.
I replaced the line in the batch file with the line you gave me. I even increased the size to 512. Have I done something wrong here?
BTW the TM file size is 14.3MB.

1.8.1 for Windows contains no batch file, and it isn't needed.
To change runtime settings, edit the file OmegaT.l4J.ini.
Inside, there's a line
#-Xmx1024M
Uncomment it (remove the #), and adapt the number to the memory you want.

But you still can use a batch file to run OmegaT.

Thanks Didier and Esperantisto. Have tried adapting the file Didier suggests (to 2048) , and changed the line in the batch file too. Still no joy.

| The ini files only concern OmegaT.exe | Nov 5, 2008 |

Which version was it?
There has not been a significant memory consumption difference since OmegaT 1.6.
re\bin\javaw -jar OmegaT.jar %*
This would tend to mean that, previously, you were using the "embedded" JRE included with some versions of OmegaT.
Which version of Java do you use?
If you are unsure, you should install OmegaT for Windows *with* Java, which I am sure contains a decently recent JRE.

Depending on your machine, 2048 may be refused by Java, and thus not be taken into account. Have you tried with 1024?
and changed the line in the batch file too. Still no joy.
The change in the ini file only applies if OmegaT is launched using OmegaT.exe.
Conversely, the change in the batch file only applies if you use the batch file, not if you launch the .exe or OmegaT.jar directly.

hello, no use to modify the source bat file in OmegaT programme folder. Make a link to it. In the link, make an addition, so that all should look like:
java -Xmx512M -Duser.language=en -jar OmegaT.jar %*
the above will suffice.
Then you can copy the bat file once again into a place you wish to see it in: desktop, for example
take note that the "en" here is for english. Put in the another code for another language for the UI you want to use, in case it is translated.

SITE LOCALIZER | But again, what's exactly the problem? | Nov 6, 2008 |
I used to work with even larger files with even older versions of OmegaT without any particular problem (other than slooooow loading on my machine).

OK, issue is now resolved.
For good measure I startred afresh to ensure leaving no legacy alterations form yesterday.
Uninstalled and then re-downloaded OmegaT.
Removed # and altered the line in OmegaT.l4J.ini as per instructions - to 2048.
Did not work.
Changed figure back to 1024 and hey presto, it worked. The TM took ages to load - 14MB file.
Thanks to all who helped with this.

Re: Esparantisto's question: The exact error message is gone and even trying to bring it back by restoring the # temporarily does not now bring it back. Curious. Anyway the gist was that there was not enough memory to run OmegaT and that I should edit the omegaT.bat file in exactly the manner you prescribed. ▲ Collapse
