Use the EDC feature to calculate costs for post-edited segments of this kind. To enable costs calculation based on EDC, go to Configuration → Data → Estimates → Cost settings → Cost settings → Calculate cost based on edit distance.

...

EXAMPLE:

  1. With EDC fully enabled and an MT engine set up to match against the segments, create a simple project with a file containing some text.

  2. Open the project in XTM Workbench.

  3. Accept all MT matches without making any changes to the segments.

  4. Go to Project editor → Estimates → Costs, and generate statistics-based costs.

  5. You should identify that, because only matches from the MT engine were used, and no changes were made to them, costs were reduced proportionately (by 60%, based on the default matrix), so the Price now contains a lower value.
