Introduction

CATCount is a tool for calculating Computer Assisted Translation (CAT) cost. In Projetex CATCount is used for accounting of computer assisted translation jobs. Primary functions of CATCount are:

•	Translating complex CAT Scheme (different rates and counts of different types of text) into a single text count number, i.e. CATCount.

•	Importing CAT counts from Trados Translator’s Workbench and Logoport logs.

•	Printing of CAT Schemes together with original word counts.

CATCount options can be found in the following Projetex windows: New/Edit Draft Client Job, New Client Job (Edit Client Job), New Corporate Job (Edit Corporate Job) and New Freelance Job (Edit Freelance Job) windows.

Interface

In Projetex CATCount is used in the following way.

When you open New Corporate Job window you specify the job name, group and service at first.
CATCount comes at a hand when you want to specify the volume of the job and calculate its cost using the CAT Scheme. The result will be automatically entered to the Volume field.

When you create a job or a quote and click <=CATCount button, you open CATCount window. With the help of this window you can enter word counts for different match types, and their respective rates. CATCount automatically calculates equivalent CAT count and enters resulting number into the Volume field.

Creating CAT counts

1. Click <=CATCount button in the New/Edit Draft Client Job or New Client Job (Edit Client Job) window to open CATCount window.

2. Enter the number of words with different level of match (100% match, "fuzzy" match and so on), the percentage of full rate payment, i.e. the CAT Scheme.

•	To save a scheme, on the Scheme menu click Save command.

•	To load a scheme on the Scheme menu click Load.

Note: To load word count analysis logs of Trados Translator’s Workbench on the Log menu click Load command.

3. Click OK to enter the Total CATCount number to the Volume field.

Expanded count report is added on the CATCount Notes tab which appears after CATCount is used.
