An approach is provided in which a linguistic analyzer engine generates a leverage value of a language translation supply chain that corresponds to an amount of suggested translations that are accepted by a professional linguist. The linguistic analyzer engine generates a factor value of the language translation supply chain that indicates a productivity of the user to convert the set of accepted translation into a set of final translations. In turn, the linguistic analyzer engine determines a performance efficiency of the language translation supply chain based upon the generated leverage value and the generated factor value, and evaluates the language translation supply chain accordingly. In one embodiment, the linguistic analyzer engine determines a performance efficiency of the language translation supply chain based on “n” distinct metric values associated with final translated segments.
