By correlating product and process data, we inspect how translation difficulty is reflected in the translation process and whether it is feasible to use product features to predict difficulties in translation. In addition, we also compare data of professional translators and students. We will show that correlations between process and product features exist, which opens many doors to further research on translatability.
