Automated post-translation analysis report settings
When there's a change in a project, memoQ can automatically calculate a new post-translation analysis report. This works in projects that you create from project templates.
For example, you can set up a project template to run post-translation analysis automatically after a new document is imported into the project. Then memoQ will do this in all projects that you create from that project template.
Post-translation analysis (PTA) is a report of savings that you have achieved on TM and LiveDocs match rates – after translation is complete.
Normal analysis "predicts" how much you could save on translation memory matches. Post-translation analysis gives you the actual savings.
Post-translation analysis is for finding out how much each translator can bill.
To learn more: See the topic about creating a post-translation analysis report manually.

What can you do?
Work with a character count rather than a word countDon't use Trados 2007-like word counts: Normally, memoQ counts words like Microsoft Word does. Use the Trados 2007-like word counts only if your client still works with an early Trados version.
When you finish
To add the action to the project template: Click OK.
The report won't run when you click OK: To get the post-translation analysis report automatically in an ongoing project: Create a project from this project template, and start working on it. Check the Reports or the Overview / Reports section for the new reports.
