Details

The word delete repair process attempts to remove text that is determined to be extra. If the source contains additional text at the beginning of the segment, between two words that matched in the lookup segment, or at the end of the segment, then the repair process attempts to delete the words. Text segments are removed only if they exist as untranslated text, found both in the source and target segments.
In the following example, the extra word is untranslated text, and thus is deleted:
Lookup Segment: I am a sentence.
Source Segment: I am a longer sentence.
Target Segment: I happen to contain the word longer as well.
Repaired Source Segment: I am a sentence.
Repaired Target Segment: I happen to contain the word as well.
In the following example, the extra words are not untranslated text.
Lookup Segment: There are more pies.
Source Segment: There are more of the amazing pies.
Target Segment: Amazing pies are still there.
Repaired Source Segment: There are more of the amazing pies.
Repaired Target Segment: Amazing pies are still there.

Recommendation

This repair is deemed reasonably safe for general-purpose use. The current implementation will be applied to untranslated content only.
