What is the purpose of enabling the option of "Skip Repetitions" in the BeGlobal Adapter settings in WorldServer and should it be reflected in the scoping report?

We have installed the latest version of the BeGlobal/RWS Language Weaver Machine Translation Adapter on WorldServer. We have enabled the Skip Repetitions Option in the BeGlobal Machine Translation Adapter settings under 

Management > Linguistic Tool Setup > Machine Translation Configurations



We have determined that Repetitions will be counted based on the Segment Asset + Calculate Repetitions Step in the workflow. The Machine Translation applied during the segmentation step (with configuration settins Leverage Assigned MT?=YES) only calculates the MT Fuzzy Words. The additional setting Skip Repetitions does not seem to have any effect on the scoping results. Can you please explain the purpose of the Skip Repetitions option in the BeGlobal Machine Translation adapter?

Scoping is not impacted in this case nor it should be. Please refer to this article to learn about the function of Skip Repetitions in the BeGlobal Machine Translation adapter:

What does the 'Skip Repetitions' option in the BeGlobal Machine Translation Adapter do exactly?



 

The intended behavior of the Skip Repetitions option is to determine whether to send repetitions to BeGLobal. Since BeGlobal charges per word, this can be costly if it is sent multiple times. Enabling this option can help our customers saving money on your Machine Translation budget.
