Leverage复用率
Leverage is the proportion of source text in a translation project that can be filled from translation memory, either as exact, fuzzy, or repetition matches. In localization pricing and planning documents, leverage measures how much previously translated content can be reused across files and projects, which helps estimate the actual effort, cost, and turnaround time required for the remaining human translation.

Where this term appears
Leverage appears in translation quotes, TM reports, and project plans as an analysis of total words broken into match types. Vendors and clients use leverage to negotiate rates, set expectations for reused content, and decide whether to update, clean, or retrain translation memories before a large upcoming multilingual project starts.
Translation checks
Overstating leverage can make a project appear cheaper and faster, but fuzzy matches may still require substantial rewriting, especially for old or inconsistent memory content. Ignoring the quality of the translation memory behind the leverage score leads to inaccurate scoping, missed deadlines, and significant budget overruns during production, especially on large multilingual programs.
Keep the term aligned across your files
Creative and consumer content needs accurate meaning as well as tone and context. Subtitles, interfaces and voice scripts also require checks for timing, character limits and pronunciation.
Provide approved terms and previous translations with the source files. Agree how variants, ambiguous wording and revisions will be reviewed. Terminology maintenance and any termbase handback are confirmed in the project scope. See the 8-step AI + expert workflow.
