Calculate Repetitions Before Translation
The following workflow extends the Translation and Review Workflow by adding a Calculate Repetitions automatic action just after the Segment Asset automatic action. Using Calculate Repetitions can save time and money by identifying and leveraging duplicate text that appears throughout a project.
Figure 1. Workflow: Calculate Repetitions
The first occurrence of a duplicate is called a Repeated Segment. Subsequent duplicates are Repetitions. After the duplicates have been identified, a translator can just translate the Repeated Segment and reuse the same translation for each Repetition.
Calculate Repetitions is a project scope automatic action, meaning that all tasks in the project must first reach this step before the action runs. For this workflow, WorldServer first segments each asset in the project. After segmentation is complete for all project assets, WorldServer runs Calculate Repetitions for all the assets, allowing the discovery of repetitions that reside in different assets.
