Thanks Adam! you too.

Thank you, Abdelwahab. I found the MemoQ article very informative and useful.

Keep well.

Adam Warren Thanks Adam! I am referring to MemoQ here and here is an article on that: 

https://docs.memoq.com/ggl-tst/Things/things-weighted-word-counts.html

This is a good idea, as far as I can tell. However, one would need to predefine a "Scheme"  as in the AID Translation Office 3000 "CatCount" software. This weights the matches, the repetitions and the fuzzy match bands for calculating a weighted word count,. Such a Scheme would need to be agreed with the client beforehand. Which CAT tool did you have in mind, Abdelwahab?

Keep well, with best wishes to you all,

Adam.

Hey Paul, 

Weighted count is used to define a more fair timeline to finish a translation request instead of counting based on the no match only.

As per an example of another CAT tool analysis, weighted count almost equals total words count – (repetitions + context match).

Hope this answers your question.

Best,

Abdelwahab
