Post title: 2019 update on difference in analysis between Trados and MemoQ
Hi everyone,
Just posting this here for reference in case it can still help people.
I had a similar issue with a big difference between MemoQ and Trados stats.
In my case, there were 5 files, and the big difference is explained by the fact that Trados does NOT calculate any fuzzy matches between files, only repetitions, while MemoQ does take fuzzy matches between files into consideration.
In MemoQ, if you create a view with all files combined and export this view as mqxliff, then upload it to Trados the stats will be more similar (of course there are still small differences, as both use different calculations).
