104.1 312.3 1,249.3 Definition: This indicator measures the total number of pages translated per available FTE. Until 2014 the number of translator posts was used. As of 2015 the number of available FTE is taken into account. The data used in the statistics is based on the date when the requests were forwarded to translation units by DT Workfow. It indicates the performance of the translation department as a whole. A page is defined as 1500 characters without spaces and including footnotes. Since the beginning of 2011, pages have been rounded to the nearest 0.1 page as part of interinstitutional efforts to define more comparable statistics. Figures for previous years have been adjusted by a conversion factor of 0.91 to allow for this change.
