G'day everyone

I need to edit/proofread a translated TXML file. I would like to know how many segments are 100% matches and how many are 85-99% matches.

If I do an analysis in WFP, I just get the total word count (in my case, 14000), and all match categories are indicated as zero.

However, if I hack the TXML file in a text editor with regex to count the words, I get 500 words in golden matches and 1100 words in matches from between 85 and 99%.

How can I get WFP itself to do the analysis so that the figures are reliable, without me having to hack the thing every time in a text editor?

Thanks

memoQ can do it Aug 21, 2012

AFAIK, the analysis function of Wordfast (Pro and Classic) is meant to be used prior to translating documents, not on the bilingual document after they have been translated.

OTOH, the statistics function of memoQ, which is able to import translated TXML files, will give you the information you need. Here is what memoQ would report for a translated TXML:



Probably not what you want to hear, but I thought I'd mention this possibility anyway.

Help with this please Jan 4, 2013

Hi,
I noticed that both of you have managed a way to analyze Wordfast pretranslated docs, I already downloaded Memoq, but I can 't find txml docs among the supported files to import.
And the other way with regex, I really dont understand how to do it. Could you (both of you) please explain this?
I need to analyze a txml, but when doing this with Wordfast it is not including the 100% matches, and I don´t have the TM nor the source doc.
Thanks a lot,
Johana

A quick script that does the hacking for you Jan 4, 2013

I wrote a quick AutoIt script that processes translated TXML files for the purpose of word counting. Essentially it extracts the target text along with the match percentage, which you can open in MS Word or Excel, and sort, and count. The EXE version supports drag-and-drop.
