Analysis band

A classification applied to a segment. Segments that are in the same analysis band have the same unit rates for the purposes of estimating translation time and costs. The analysis band for a segment depends on the source and target language, and on the rating of the match that is found, for example the percentage match in a fuzzy match. All segments are put into analysis bands. Segments that do not have a match in a translation memory are classified into the highest cost band.
