This article explains how % TM Leverage is calculated in SDL TMS.
Keep in mind the following:
- % TM Leverage = [Total Weighted Word Count]/[Word Count]
- [Weighted Word Count] = [Words Per Band] * [Lower Bound of Band]: the weighted word count is calculated for each band as the actual word count times the lower bound of the band.
- Repetitions are treated as 100% matches.
- The total of the weighted word counts is divided by the word count to yield the percent translation memory leverage.
For example:
-
Bands | Words per band | Lower bound of band | Weight word count |
Repetitions | 21 | 100% | 21 |
100% | 24 | 100% | 24 |
99% - 85% | 64 | 85% | 54.4 |
84% - 75% | 6 | 75% | 4.5 |
74% - 0% | 137 | 0% | 0 |
TOTAL | 252 | | 103.9 |
% TM Leverage = [Total Weighted Word Count]/[Word Count]
% TM Leverage = (103.9 / 252) = 41.23%
