Word Expansion Factors let you set a multiplier for each language pair. If the translated text contains more words than the source, Prokurio uses the factor to estimate translation costs. Language pairs without a factor use the default value of 1.00.
Let’s add a Word Expansion Factor to a foreign firm.
- From your Homepage, go to Custom Fees in the left sidebar, then select Firms.
- On the Firms tab, find the firm you want to configure and click Edit.
- On the firm’s maintenance screen, scroll down to the Word Expansion Factors section and click + Add Word Expansion Factor.
- Set your From language and To language using the dropdowns.
- Enter your Word Count Multiplier. For example, 1.20 = 20% more words. Use 1.00 for no expansion.
- Click Save.
Note: Each language pair needs its own entry. Pairs without a factor set will use 1.00 (no expansion) by default.
