Project Editor - comparison of Metrics and Statistics
SOURCE statistics provide information about the number of segments, words, characters, and characters as a percentage in the source text that have been translated in a specific workflow step by a specific user.
TARGET statistics provide information about the number of segments, words, characters, and characters as a percentage in the target text translated in a specific workflow step by a specific user.
Metrics provide information about the number of segments, words, characters and words or characters as a percentage for the translated text and text to translate for the whole project.
It means that Statistics and Metrics indicate the same values for a step performed by a single user, for example:
Category | Description |
|---|---|
Metrics: | 20 no matching words |
SOURCE statistics: | 20 no matching words |
TARGET statistics: | 25 no matching words |
Statistics and Metrics indicate different values when multiple users are involved in a step including Administrators and Project Managers, for example:
Category | Description |
|---|---|
Metrics: | 20 no matching words |
SOURCE statistics: | Linguist 1: 8 no matching words Linguist 2: 12 no matching words |
TARGET statistics: | Linguist 1: 11 no matching words Linguist 2: 14 no matching words |
Metrics and statistics will also differ if machine translation is used. In this case the original metrics may show segments/words/characters in the no matching category and fuzzy matching rows. After translation, depending on settings, some text may have been machine translated and so is now displayed in that row.
