Take the analysis report below, for example, the Chinese character number is 420580, the percentage of new is 37.89%. But 420580x0.3789 = 159357, not 72617.
Is there any reason here?
Thank you!
Hi Linus,
The problem is quite simple ;) The values in the Percent column are being calculated based on the Words, not Characters,
If you do like this: (total words) 142757 x 0.3789 you'll get 54084 words.
The percents calculated on Characters will be obviously different than calculated on words - that's normal.
Most of the translators, MLV and LSPs are choosing - f.e. for the offers - source words or characters with spaces but trados won't report characters with spaces so I'd recommend treating the column Characters just as a reference. If possible, check the characters with spaces in f.e. MS Word.

Rafal
