XTM Cloud 13.8

Reanalysis of the project

When you want to add a new source file to an existing project or only update the source file that is already in translation, you can choose if an analysis of the project should be performed again. Before you decide to reanalyze your project, remember that reanalysis can cause changes to the existing project:

  • Metrics and TM matching will be recalculated.

  • Target segment comments added in XTM Workbench will be deleted.

  • Workflow allocations will change for overwritten files.

  • Statistics will remain unchanged.

  • Any generated offline files will be deleted from History.

  • If machine translation has been enabled for the relevant project, all segments will be resent to the relevant MT engine. So when you add new or update the existing project source files and select the Reanalyse project checkbox, not only the newly added but also the existing segments will be sent to the relevant MT engine. This means you can be charged twice by your MT services provider for translating some segments.

Note

If you are running XTM Cloud 13.5 or higher and have purchased a subscription with a specific word allowance (for details see Licensing), when you upload or replace one or multiple source files in a project (continuous project) for which the processed words have already been deducted, only the processed words related to the new scope are deducted from your word allowance.

In this section:

Processed words are calculated as follows:

number of words in the source file(s) * number of target languages in the project - number of ICE matches in the project

Example 51. Processed words calculation

The source file contains 100 words, the project has 3 target languages and 20 words from one target language are ICE matches. XTM Cloud calculates processed words as follows:

100 * 3 - 20 = 300 - 20 = 280

For this project, XTM Cloud will deduct 280 processed words from your allowance.


Processed words are deducted from your XTM Cloud instance word allowance, whenever any of these actions are performed ( whichever happens first):

  • Project Managers start a project or job. Only the processed words related to the started file(s) and/or language(s) will be deducted.

  • Project Managers or Linguists open a job in XTM Workbench in edit mode (either via the UI or API) before starting the project. Only the processed words related to the opened file(s) will be deducted from your allowance. If the file is only opened in edit mode after its workflow has been started, the processed words for that file will not be deducted again. Processed words are only deducted the first time the file is opened in XTM Workbench, not when the file is opened again.

  • Project Managers download one or more project files before starting the project. Only the processed words related to the downloaded target files will be deducted. If the file is only downloaded after its workflow has been started, the processed words for that file will not be deducted again. Also, if the same version of the target file is downloaded multiple times, processed words will be deducted only once.

  • Project Managers upload one or multiple source files to an existing, started project (continuous project) for which the processed words have already been deducted, or replace them in the project. In this case, only the processed words related to the new scope will be deducted from your word allowance.
