Topic: Fragment repetition count without translation memory
Poster: Mar Jiménez Quesada
Let´s assume that we have a file to translate that contains repetitions but there is no translation memory, so we are looking at the number of repeated fragments within the file. Does the software include in the repeated fragment count the first instance of a repeated fragment (i.e., the one that you will have to translate from scratch).
For example, if you have the fragment "xxxxab", which appears 3 times, although the repeat count is 3, one of those will have to be translated from scratch so it should not be counted as a repetition. Will the software then place 2 of those fragments in the repeated count and the other one in the "new fragment" count?
