Scoping

Scoping is the process of comparing content to be translated with past translations to assess the remaining translation cost and effort.

A scoping configuration is a collection of ranges that describe the quality of a match.

Add, modify or delete scoping configurations in Management > Linguistic Tool Setup > Scoping Configuration . You also can define the default scoping configuration on this page.

To specify a scoping configuration as the default

The default scoping configuration is a scoping configuration designated for use when no scoping configuration is explicitly specified for an operation. WorldServer requires that a default configuration exists; you can specify which scoping configuration is the default.

Choose the name of the configuration from the Select Default Scoping Configuration drop-down list.
Once selected as the default, you cannot delete a scoping configuration. You can, however, edit the configuration.

Note: If you change which scoping configuration is designated as the default configuration, you must do so carefully. Changing the scoping configuration may render the scoping information for active projects unusable. Changing a scoping configuration will impact many areas of WorldServer, such as ad hoc scoping, cost models, and so on.
