Post title: XTM Word Counts
Dear Jitka,
Thank you very much for your posts and comments. Please note that word counts in XTM are based on the GMX-V 2.0 standard ( [url removed] ). SDL does not publish the basis of its word counts so there is no way of verifying their metrics, but both appear to be within the same range.
XTM uses advanced Cloud based linguistic technology for matching, including full morphological analysis that is not available in most desktop CAT tools, as well as taking into account other files that may be in the project. XTM internal repetitions work on all files in the project and not on individual files alone. As our support team has pointed out, without further information regarding the project we cannot investigate in more detail. Should you provide us with information regarding your project we will do a full analysis for you to prove the accuracy of the XTM matching statistics.
Let me assure you though that XTM Cloud processes hundreds of thousands projects per week and we have always been able to prove the accuracy of our word count metrics. Unlike most other TMS/CAT tool publishers we are totally committed to Open Standards and full transparency.
Best Regards,
Andrzej Zydroń CTO XTM International
