Analysis Mappings

Lingotek applies TM Match labels according to percent match (100% - Exact, 99-95% - High, 94-50% - Low Fuzzy). These percentages display to linguists and are often used to determine translator pricing.

If you would like to modify these settings,

1. Sign in as an administrator.
   
   
2. Choose Community from the side bar and select Customization.
   
   
3. From the left menu, select Translation Memory.
   
   
4. A range of TM Match percentages will appear on the left (100%, 99-95%, 94% and below). Using the drop down menus, scroll to select which percentages should display as Exact, High Fuzzy, and Low Fuzzy matches.
   
   
5. Click to Save your work.

Public Vaults

As a community admin you have the ability to enable/disable public vaults. When public vaults are enabled, users can create and/or save TM units to a vault that's shared with all TMS users in the community. 

1. Sign in as an administrator.
   
   
2. Choose Community from the side bar and select Customization.
   
   
3. From the left menu, select Translation Memory.
   
   
4. Under Public Vaults check/uncheck Enable Public Vaults according to your preference.

Weighted Word Count

Weighted Word Counts (WWC) give project managers and linguists a more accurate idea of how much actual work needs to be done in a task than by looking at the Total Word Count. The system multiplies the word count for each TM leverage bucket by the percentage that you set (see below) to give an indication of how much work needs to be done. As a Community Admin, you have the ability to decide how WWC will be calculated. 

1. Sign in as an administrator.
   
   
2. Choose Community from the side bar and select Customization.
   
   
3. From the left menu, select Translation Memory.
   
   
4. Under the Weighted Word Count (WWC) section, you can edit and create WWC configurations.
   
    
   
   
   1. Choose the metadata field the system will look at when deciding which configuration to use. 
   2. To create a new Configuration, select the 'plus' icon. 
      
      
      
      
      1. Give your WWC Configuration a Name.
      2. Choose which fields the document's metadata must match to use this configuration.

      3. Decide whether or not to make this the default configuration. 

         If the document metadata does not match any configurations, the default configuration will be used. 

      4. Choose the percentage value a TM Match Type will have compared to a 'whole word.'

         If you set your 74% - 50% TM Match type to 70%, and a segment with a 74% - 50% Fuzzy match has a Total Word Count of 10, then WWC will equal 7 for that TM leverage bucket. 

      5. Save or Cancel as needed. 
   3. To edit an existing Configuration, select the 'pencil' icon.

   4. To delete an existing Configuration, select the 'x' icon. 

      You cannot delete the Default Configuration until you make a different configuration the default.
