About Report Settings

Analysis Report Settings

You can specify these settings on the following pages:  Analyze Files, Search and Penalties.

Setting	Description
Report Cross-file Repetitions	This counts segments that are duplicates of segments in a different file being analyzed in the same task. If this is set to No, cross-file repetition counts are not included in the report. The number of repetitions (identical segments that occur more than once) in each file is counted by default in a separate repetitions count.
Report Internal Fuzzy Match Analysis	This shows if internal fuzzy matches were included in the analysis process. This means it calculates the maximum additional leverage that can be obtained by the translator interactively translating the document with a translation memory.
Minimum Match Score	This shows the minimum acceptable degree of similarity between the text in the source segments and the text found in the translation memory using fuzzy match search techniques. The higher the value, the more similar the terms.
Search Mode	This shows you the method used to find these matches. For example, the report takes the best match from all translation memories used.
Missing Formatting Penalty	This shows the cases where formatting is completely missing in the target segment as a percentage.
Different Formatting Penalty	This shows the cases where formatting is different in the target segment, shown as a percentage.
Multiple Translations Penalty	This shows the cases where multiple translations exist in the target segment for the same original text in the source, shown as a percentage.
Auto-Localization Penalty	This shows the cases where certain translation specifics have not been taken into account, shown as a percentage. For example, in the event that US English date rules have not been observed in a translation.
Text Replacement Penalty	This shows cases where text has been replaced that should not be translated, shown as a percentage.

Lock 100% Matches - When this option is selected, if the translation memory match found for the segment is a 100% match, the segment is automatically locked so that it cannot be edited during translation. Confirm Context Matches - When this option is selected, if the translation memory match found for the segment is a context match, the segment is automatically confirmed. Lock Context Matches - When this option is selected, if the translation memory match found for the segment is a context match, the segment is automatically locked so that it cannot be edited during translation.
