Hello all DV users
I see DV has something called "internal repetition" in its statistics. What is that? Is it the same thing as "internal fuzzy matching" that some other CAT tools have, or is it something different?
Thanks
Samuel

beneficial for those features.
To prevent the inclusion of words like articles or pronouns into this calculation, any word of three

Hope it could help?

But... what you're saying is the opposite of what the DVX3 User Guide says.
From Lbenito's quote from the DVX3 User Guide I gather that "internal repetition" in DVX is something quite different from "internal fuzzy matching" done by other CAT tools.
A "fuzzy match" is a source segment for which a ... match is found in the translation memory. ... An "internal fuzzy match" is a source segment for which a ... match is found earlier in the same source text.
Yes, that broadly explains what the difference between external and internal fuzzy matching is. But is that also what "internal repetition" in DVX is?

As far as I can remember, DVX does not support internal fuzzy matches the way other tools do. You may want to have a look at this old video of mine:

What is your response to Rossana's post, then, which mentions that the thing in DV called "intra-project analysis" is what other tools call "internal fuzzy matching"?

You may want to have a look at the 593-page manual. It talks about intra-project analysis, inter-project analysis and internal repetitions. Not very clear to me, especially since there are mentions of segment-level and subsegment-level analysis. I don’t have a working copy of DVX3 installed right now, nor the time or interest to investigate the matter.

Yes, very confusing...
I don't have a working installation of DVX either (I get lots of unexpected error messages).

I do have one now. I can confirm that DVX3 has internal fuzzy matching that works the same as that of the other CAT tools (that is in addition to the "internal repetition" feature, which counts something else). To get to it, use Project > Analyze, and select "Intra-Project Analysis".
