Smartling brings rich data to your fingertips that can be used in any number of ways to inform decisions, calculate return on investment, and achieve greater results long term. The SmartMatch Leverage Report and Translation Memory Leverage Report unlock information about how and where your translation memory was used to reduce cost and time to market.
The difference between these two reports is that the SmartMatch Leverage Report returns only SmartMatch data, whereas the Translation Memory Leverage Report returns data for SmartMatch and Fuzzy Match.
Access the Reports
Account Owners and Project Managers can access the report via Reports > SmartMatch Leverage or Translation Memory Leverage.
SmartMatch Leverage Report
The SmartMatch Leverage Report visualizes the number of SmartMatches across the entire account. The chart illustrates the number of SmartMatches per day, and the detailed table below reports the number of strings and words SmartMatched per day by language and project.
The report will automatically display SmartMatch leverage for all languages over the past 30 days. You can also customize this report.
- From the Select languages dropdown menu, select individual or all languages.
- Adjust the Date from/to.
- Click Create Report.
The date range is limited to 365 days. For access to historical data, contact your Customer Success Manager.
Hover over the graph to drill down on daily data points. Peaks and valleys in these data can typically be tied to specific translation projects. A larger number of SmartMatches per day means your translation memory is being well-utilized to reduce the cost of translation. If new content is being created, expect fewer SmartMatches.
The table provides greater insight to the data. You can sort by project, language, string count, word count, or date.
