What is the recommended minimum fuzzy match threshold at which most agencies charge a reduced translation rate?
Answer: 75%
Most agencies apply discounted rates for fuzzy matches at 75% and above because less editing effort is required.
What is a 'concordance search' in a CAT tool?
Answer: Searching the TM for any occurrence of a word or phrase
A concordance search scans the TM for all segments containing a specific word or phrase to find how it was previously translated.
What does TBX stand for in terminology management?
Answer: TermBase eXchange
TBX (TermBase eXchange) is the ISO-standard format for exchanging terminological data between different CAT and TM systems.
In CAT tool analysis, what is a 'repetition'?
Answer: A segment that occurs more than once within the same project
Repetitions are identical segments appearing more than once within a single project, typically billed at a discounted rate.
What is 'pre-translation' in a CAT tool workflow?
Answer: Automatically inserting TM or MT matches before the translator begins
Pre-translation automatically populates segments with TM or machine translation matches before the translator starts reviewing the file.
What does a 'leverage report' show in a translation project?
Answer: An analysis showing TM match percentages and new word counts
A leverage report shows the breakdown of exact matches, fuzzy matches, and new words to determine TM savings and project cost.
