Report analysis counts

The analysis process counts the different types of matches by segments, words, characters, placeables or tags. The table below describes what each count includes.

Counted By

Counted ByDescription
Segments

This counts per segment. A segment typically is equivalent to one sentence.

Words

This count includes placeables but not tags. Each placeable is counted as a single word.

Characters

This count includes all of the characters within the translatable text except for spaces and tags. Placeables are counted.

Percent

This counts the percentage of words with that match type.

Placeables

This count includes a tag count.

Tags

Each tag is counted individually, therefore a pair of tags is counted as two tags.
