Validating length of TMX entries
This function supports plausibility checking of the TMX database entries.
It checks the length of the entries and shows all entries where in comparison with the other entries the entry seems to be very short or long. In doing this one can eventually detect entries not correctly translated.
Method
The character length of all translations for all languages of an entry are determined and the mean computed. Next it is checked if the ratio of the longest and shortest translation outperforms a certain % value. If yes the entry is displayed as to be checked. The percentage value can be set in the eaglememex.properties modifying the property eaglememex.val.prop.
The first value (e.g. 14) is the length of the shortest translation, the second value the mean of all translations (e.g. 135), the third value (e.g. 243) the length of the longest translation, the fourth value is the ration of the shortest to the longest translation.
