% Total Cost

Cost of translations made using translations leveraged from translation memory, expressed as a percentage of the total translation cost for this language.

This is how the figure is calculated:

(TM cost for a specific language / Total TM Cost) Total TM Cost is the sum of all TM Costs for all languages.

The percentage of words in this job which were translated by applying translation memory. Repeated words are considered to be translated using translation memory as the translation for the first occurrence of the word will automatically be applied by SDL TMS to all other occurrences.

This is how the figure is calculated:

(Fuzzy Words + Hundred Words + Repeated Words) / Total Words.

Average Cost Per Word

Average translation cost per word using the translation memory.

This is how the figure is calculated:

(Total cost / Total words)
