Translation Cost Savings - Return on Investment (ROI) Example

The following example will show cost savings obtained for a manual of about 300 pages containing approximately 54,000 words that needs to be translated into several languages.

Volume reduction

Typically, Controlled Language will result in a word count reduction of 15%. This means that only 45,900 words will have to be translated, instead of the original 54,000.

Optimum reusability

Thanks to the use of consistent style and terminology the yield of a translation memory will increase by approximately 10% (perfect matches) in addition to the 30% that is normally recognized.
