Exact strings of text within a translation project.
Cross-file repetitions occur when the same text or phrase appears in more than one file within a localization project. Identifying these repetitions enhances efficiency by allowing translators to reuse existing translations, ensuring consistency across different documents.
Cross-file repetitions are particularly common in projects involving multiple languages or extensive content, such as software localization or website translation.
Recognizing and managing these repetitions is particularly useful in large projects where maintaining uniformity in terminology and phrasing is essential. Tackling them helps localization teams reduce translation costs and better their workflows.
Tools that support the identification of cross-file repetitions can significantly improve the quality of translations. They enable translators to focus on new content while ensuring that previously translated segments are accurately reused.
