Translation analysis

This feature is available in both the CMS and TMS modules. Translation analysis is currently in Beta.

 Analyze the time, cost and effort required to translate your content using Translation Analysis. This feature provides data on the number of segments, words, characters, repetition rate and existing translation memories. You can also download the report and analyze the data yourself.

Understanding the analysis

There are 4 key metrics:

  • Total: The total number of translation units in the Grid.
  • New (<50% matching): The number of translation units that do not have a match in the assigned translation memory.
  • Repetitions: The number of translation units duplicated in the Grid.
  • Fuzzy (50-99%): The number of translation units that are similar, but not identical, to translation memory matches.
