Lesson 101 - Understanding Statistics

To understand the way statistics work in Easyling, we have to start with the most important fact: in our application, the largest unit of measurement is a block, which is usually represented by a <p> or a <div>. Blocks break down to segments, segments to words, words to letters. Since Easyling deals exclusively with content in webpages, HTML tags also play an important part in weighing the repetitions.

It is also important to note that the statistics in Easyling are different degrees of repetitions. The website's content is repetitioned agaist itself, simulating a translation process, not unlike the Homogeneity feature in MemoQ.

With that in mind, here is a breakdown of the percentages in our Statistics. You can find these explanations if you hover your mouse over each repetition row:

102% - Strong contextual repetitions

These are block repetitions. Every segment in the block is a 101% repetition, and all the tags are identical. We do not charge for these repetitions and they are propagated automatically within the project.

101% - Contextual repetitions

These repetitions are comparable to the 101% repetitions in MemoQ, or Context Matches in SDL Trados Studio. Both tags in the segment, and contexts (segments immediately before and after) repetition.

100% - Regular repetitions

This one is straightforward, and comparable to the Repetitions count in MemoQ or Trados. The segment is repeated exactly, including all tags.

99% - Strong fuzzy repetitions

In this case, a repetition is found after few transformations on the segment before comparing: tags from the ends are stripped out, words lowercased, numbers ignored.

98% - Weak fuzzy repetitions

Here, all tags are stripped out, not just the ones in the end; words lowercased, numbers ignored.


Hover your mouse over the matches to see the differences highlighted.

Original Repetition Explanation
The quick, brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The dog gets really angry, and chases away the fox. The fox regrets the whole thing and quits jumping, leading to its ultimate demise. The dog lives happily ever after. The End of story 1.
The quick, brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The dog gets really angry, and chases away the fox. The fox regrets the whole thing and quits jumping, leading to its ultimate demise. The dog lives happily ever after. The End of story 1.
102% match. They are completely identical.
The quick, brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The dog gets really angry, and chases away the fox. The fox regrets the whole thing and quits jumping, leading to its ultimate demise. The dog lives happily ever after. The End of story 1.
The quick, brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The dog gets really angry, and chases away the fox. The fox regrets the whole thing and quits jumping, leading to its ultimate demise. The dog lives happily ever after. The End of story 1. Not!
101%, 5 repetitions. By adding another segment to the block, the first 5 sentences become 101% repetitions, but the last one is unique, therefore it is not a 102% match.
The quick, brown fox jumps over the lazy doge. The doge gets really angry, and chases away the fox. The foxe regrets the whole thing and quits jumping, leading to its ultimate demise. The doge lives happily ever after. The End of story 2. The End of story 2. The doge lives happily ever after. The foxe regrets the whole thing and quits jumping, leading to its ultimate demise. The doge gets really angry, and chases away the fox. The quick, brown fox jumps over the lazy doge. 100%, 5 repetitions. The contents are the same, but the order is reversed, thefore they are not 101 matches anymore.
The quick, brown fox jumps over the lazy doge. The doge gets really angry, and chases away the fox. The foxe regrets the whole thing and quits jumping, leading to its ultimate demise. The doge lives happily ever after. The End of story 3. The End of story 4. The DOGE lives happily ever after. The foxe regrets the whole thing and quits jumping, leading to its ultimate demise.<br/>
The doge gets really angry, and chases away the FOX. The quick, brown fox JUMPS over the lazy doge.
99%, 5 repetitions. Aside from the reversed order, some words are in a different case, and one segment even has a tag at the end (<br/>) which is not found in the source.
The quick, brown fox jumps over the lazy doge. The doge gets really angry, and chases away the fox. The foxe regrets the whole thing and quits jumping, leading to its ultimate demise. The doge lives happily ever after. The End of story 3. The End Of Story 4. The DOGE lives happily ever after. The foxe regrets the whole thing and quits jumping, leading to its ultimate demise.<br/>
The doge gets Really Angry, and chases away the FOX. The quick, brown fox JUMPS over the lazy doge.
98%, 5 repetitions. Many tags are changed and/or inserted, and more words are in different cases now.
