In my own language, the verbs don&#39;t change just \nbecause the nouns do.  So for me (if I was translating into English), a \n3 word difference in the source text would mean a 6 word difference in \nthe target text.\n\n&gt; All that OmegaT, or any other CAT tool, can reasonably do is provide an \n&gt; indication of similarity and describe how that similarity has been \n&gt; calculated. It can&#39;t attempt to extrapolate from that what the actual \n&gt; time savings will be.\n\nI agree that one should be careful to say that x% similarity would \nresult in y% time saving.\n\nSamuel\n\n"}}
