Introduction

The Processed Words count is a reflection of states the total count of words available for use within the framework of an individual license purchased by the a client, for their XTM Cloud instance, as well as and also the number of words which that have already been processed in this XTM Cloud instance.

Aside from this, a date of The next license renewal date is also displayed.

The feature applies to Processed Words count feature is available for all three XTM Cloud Products products that are available for purchase (for more information about differences in XTM Product product types, read the following this article: Public Cloud, Private Cloud, Suite – server differences).

With In XTM Cloud, the Processed Words count feature applies to for all three account types of account: Freelancer, Group, and Enterprise. (for For Enterprise accounts, Processed Words the feature will be active for the entire account duration – usually one year).

The Processed Words details are displayed in the top right-hand corner of the Projects → Project list page in XTM Cloud.

How are Processed Words calculated?

The mathematical formula forthe Processed Words looks value is as follows:

NUMBER OF WORDS IN THE SOURCE FILES(S) * NUMBER OF TARGET LANGUAGES IN THE PROJECT - NUMBER OF ICE MATCHES IN THE PROJECT

EXAMPLE:

Let’s As an example, let’s take a source file containing 100 words. The project has 3 target languages and . 20 words from in one target language are ICE matches. XTM Cloud will calculate the Processed Words as follows:

100 * 3 - 20 = 300 - 20 = 280

For Result: for this project, XTM Cloud will deduct 280 processed words from your allowance.

...

When are Processed Words deducted from the total word allowance?

 

Processed Words ARE ONLY DEDUCTED from your XTM Cloud instance word allowance only after one of the following actions is has been performed:

  1. Project Managers START an XTM Cloud project or a single XTM Cloud job → Only the Processed Words related to the started file(s) and/or language(s) are going to be deducted.

Info

The Processed Words counting for started projects takes place are only counted when all the whole language/ languages , or a single file/files has/files in them have been started (words are not deducted from the whole an entire project at once if the whole entire project has not been started).

  • Example 1: If a source file contains 100 words, and the project has 3 target languages in total, and you only start only one target language, XTM Cloud will only deduct only 100 words, and not 300 (100 × 3 languages).

    • If the next language will be is started, you will still only be able to subtract another 100 words will be subtracted.

  • Example 2: If a project has 3 source files, containing 100 words each, and only 1 source file is started, XTM Cloud will only deduct only 100 words (not 300).

    • If the next source file will be is started, you will still only be able to deduct another 100 words will be subtracted.

  • Example 3: If you have 3 source files, each containing 100 words each, and 3 target languages, once and you start 1 source file 1 for that 1 target language 1, only 100 words are deducted from the available words in the allowance.

  1. Project Managers or Linguists OPEN a job in XTM Workbench in Edit mode BEFORE starting the its project → Only the Processed Words related to the opened file(s) are going to be deducted. If the file is opened in Edit Mode mode after its workflow has been started, the Processed Words for the relevant file are not going to be deducted again.

  2. Project Managers DOWNLOAD target files(s) BEFORE starting the their project. → Only the Processed Words related to the downloaded target file(s) are going to be deducted. If the file is only downloaded only after its workflow has been started, the Processed Words for the relevant file are not going to be deducted again. Also, if the same version of the target file is downloaded multiple times, the Processed Words are going to be only deducted only once.

Note

IMPORTANT!

ALL Files generation on not started for unstarted jobs, in the Project Editor → Files section, also triggers the deduction of Processed Words!

  1. Project Managers UPLOAD or REPLACE one or multiple source files to an existing, started project (continuous project), for which the Processed Words have already been deducted, or REPLACE these files. → In this case, only the Processed Words related to the new scope are going to be deducted from your word allowance.

Note

IMPORTANT!

There are no exceptions to the rules above; it is not possible to, for instance, exclude any XTM Cloud projects or certain particular XTM Cloud project templates from the Processed Words scope!

  1. Project Managers or Linguists perform all the actions mentioned above via the API.

...

When are Processed Words not deducted from the total word allowance?

Processed Words ARE NOT DEDUCTED from your XTM Cloud instance word allowance after one of the following actions is performed:

  1. Reanalyzing Reanalysis of XTM Cloud projects → If a particular XTM Cloud project is reanalyzed, the Processed Words will are not be deducted again. If new or updated source files are uploaded within the framework of a continuous project, only the words related to the new scope are going to be deducted from your word allowance.

  2. Reopening of XTM Cloud projects → If a particular XTM Cloud project is reopened, Processed Words will are not be deducted again.

  3. ICE matches → ICE matches are the only TM match type whose word count in a particular XTM Cloud project is not deducted from you your total word allowance. On the other hand, any Any other type of TM match, even a Repetition, is included in the Processed Words scope.

  4. Generating Generation of any other project-specific files, rather than target files → Target files are the only project-specific files which, upon their generation that trigger the deduction of Processed Words when they are generated from an XTM Cloud project (either via the UI or API), trigger deduction of Processed Words. Target files are not the same as offline translation files or preview files, as you might mistakenly thinkbe thought. Only target file generation will deduct the words (once), and there are no exceptions to that.

  5. Project Managers or Linguists OPEN a job in XTM Workbench in READ-ONLY MODE (either via the UI or API) BEFORE and AFTER starting the project → If the a file is opened in Read-only Mode mode before or after its workflow is started, the Processed Words for the relevant that file are not going to be deducted at all.

...

Subscription-blocking after the Processed Words allowance has been used up

If the Processed Words are allowance is used up because of a newly created project , and a new project is created in the XTM Cloud UI, a Project Manager sees, in the the Project Editor → Workflowtab , information about the inability screen displays a message for a Project manager to inform them that is is not possible to activate the project in question.

See a sample Example message:

Your XTM account has only 34610 words remaining. This project has 145390 words and so cannot be activated. Please ask your administrator to purchase more words and then try again.

Other than that, if the Processed Words are allowance is used up:

  • XTM Workflow is blocked, as well as The XTM Cloud workflow and the Files tab , are blocked and XTM Workbench is open can only be opened in the read-only mode.

  • The user sees that they currently have zero words available. Adding If another project will result in the inability is added, in XTM Cloud, it will not be possible to start it, opening open XTM Workbench in the Edit mode or use the Files tab screen functions in general.
