Extend analysis with weighted words

"Weighted words" is a principle widely used in the translation industry.

It refers to word count analysis, on which the pricing is build.

It means, word counts for a certain match category (like 70% - to 79% matches) are multiplied with a certain factor (for example 0.5). The result is the weighted words for this category.

In the end all weighted words of all categories can be added up to a single weighted word count, that represents the project.

This single weighted word count can than easily be used to get the price for the project by multiplying it with the price/word.

For example the schema could be like this:

• no match to 50% match: full price (multiply word count with factor 1)
• 51% to 70% match: 90% of the price (multiply word count with factor 0.9)
• 71% to 90% match: 70% of the price (multiply word count with factor 0.7)
• 91% to 99% match: 50% of the price (multiply word count with factor 0.5)
• 100% and up: no cost (multiply word count with factor 0)

In translate5's configuration a new config is added that defines the weighted words factor for the different default match categories of translate5.

In addition a config is added, that defines how much a weighted word costs and another config is added, that defines the currency symbol, that of the used currency. If the config for the word-price is empty, no additional line for the price is added to the analysis. This behavior is explained in the config.

All new configs are overwriteable on client and import level.

In the analysis then the weighted words will be calculated and the price for the weighted words also.

How this will be displayed shows the attached screen shot.

In the analogous way as shown in the screen shot 2 to 3 more  rows will also be added to the Spreadsheet export.
