Project - Create analysis report

If several translators work on a set of documents, you cannot know when a translator will translate a segment or a document. This means you also cannot know who will be able to use translations from others. As a result, you cannot predict what internal repetitions will be used.

Bottom line: If the translation is done by a team rather than one single translator, you cannot have a precise estimate of the work in advance. To find out the exact amount, use Post-translation analysis after the translation is finished.

To set this up for your team: in the Analysis section, click the Create new report link, and use these options:

1. Check the Selected project TMs and corpora check box. This makes sure that memoQ checks the segments in every translation memory and LiveDocs corpus in your project.
2. Clear the Calculate homogeneity check box. memoQ should not count internal fuzzy similarities because we don't know the order in which segments are translated.
3. Clear the Include locked rows check box: If you received documents that contain locked rows, most of the time your client means that you must not touch those.
4. Make sure the Repetitions take precedence over 100% check box is checked: Use this option if a consistent translation is more important than using all possible matches from the translation memory.
5. Make sure the Cross-file repetitions check box is cleared: We don't know who will be able to use repetitions.

To set this up for a single translator: in the Analysis section, click the Create new report link, and use these options:

1. Check the Selected project TMs and corpora check box. This makes sure that memoQ checks the segments in every translation memory and LiveDocs corpus in your project.
2. Check the Calculate homogeneity check box. memoQ counts internal fuzzy similarities, too. That is, memoQ predicts what matches you will get during translation while your translation memory is filled up.

   Use this only if this job is really for a single translator: Don't check the Calculate homogeneity check box if two or more translators will work on this job.

3. Clear the Include locked rows check box: If you received documents that contain locked rows, most of the time your client means that you must not touch those.
4. Make sure the Repetitions take precedence over 100% check box is checked: Use this option if a consistent translation is more important than using all possible matches from the translation memory.
5. Make sure the Cross-file repetitions check box is checked: Since a single translator will work on this translation, they can use a segment that is repeated from another document in the project. Clear this check box only if two or more translators will work on this job.
