Translation memory leverage sheet, on the worked example

$11,592

The free worksheets here work the figures a localisation engineer already has: the source word count of the release, the target locales, the analysis report's exact and fuzzy match shares, and the rate the vendor charges for each; then the strings in the build, the locales, and the defects the locale pass found. From those the leverage sheet gives the new, fuzzy and exact words per locale, the cost of the release per locale and across every locale, what it would have cost with no memory, and the leverage the memory delivered. The testing checklist turns the defects into a rate per thousand locale checks, a pass share and the count to fix before the ship threshold. Each runs on your numbers rather than a published average, and each prints for the release review.

Every figure here comes from the figures you enter and the method stated beside it: your word count, your locales, your memory's match shares, your vendor's rates, your strings and the defects your locale pass found. Where a guide names a published figure it names the source and the date it was read. This site publishes no translation, no vendor's price and no ranking: what a word costs in a language is your vendor's quote, and the standards cited on each guide are the starting point, not the ruling.
