Project Reports

To estimate and count the translation cost, keep track of the most active members, and view the project status along with existing issues, open your project and go to the Reports tab.

Project reports

You can analyze your project data with the following reports:

Project overview
Project size
Project summary

Project Overview

This report allows you to analyze the translation progress and see what method was used for translation (translated by a person, MT, or TM). You can also check if there are any issues with Quality Assurance (QA) checks and strings.

By hovering over the progress line, you’ll see the details on translated and approved words. Project Reports

QA check issues are defined by QA checks parameters configured in the project’s Settings > Quality assurance. QA issues can be checked and resolved by proofreaders in the Editor.

The Unresolved issues section allows you to analyze the following parameters:

Black number – all unresolved issues created for the strings
Red number – issues created for the strings during the last 24 hours
Green number – issues resolved for the strings during the last 24 hours

You can find all unresolved issues in Editor using the With Unresolved Issues filter option.

Note: Wrong translation issues belong to both QA check and Unresolved issues.

Project Size

You can find the total number of texts in the project under the Project Size. You can also see the numbers of such texts:

Translatable – for translation
Hidden – not for translation (visible only for managers)
Duplicates – repeating within the project

This report might be generated based on the following parameters: words, strings, characters, and characters with spaces.

Project Summary

This section helps to analyze the overall project progress. You can check translation, proofreading, and source strings activities for different periods.

There are four time periods available: day, week, 30 days, and a year. The graphs are generated based on the parameter you choose for the Project Size.

Hover over the dots on the graphs to check more details:

Translation Activity – the general number of all translated texts along with separate numbers of translations done with Machine Translations (MT) and Translation Memory (TM)
Proofreading Activity – the exact numbers of all approvals and votes

Hover over the bars on the Source strings activity chart to see how many texts in source strings were added, deleted, and updated.

Source String Activity

Click on the parameter title to hide a section from the graph and to bring it back when needed.
Use this option to analyze just specific parameters on the graph.

You can also highlight a specific section on the graph by hovering over the parameter title.

Cost Estimate

Use this report to plan your budget and count the approximate cost of translations. Set the translation and approval rates to see the cost for untranslated and not approved strings in the project.

You can generate a Cost Estimate report based on the following filters:

General filter – Language: All or specific target language; Strings added: All time, Today, Yesterday, Last 7 days, Last 30 days, or Custom range.
Task filter – Tasks: All Tasks or specific task.

Note: Final translation cost might differ due to various factors such as added or deleted texts, multiple people translating the same string into the same language (both of them will be counted in the Translation Cost), and others.

Generating a Report

To generate the Cost Estimate report, follow these steps:

Select the preferred currency and the report unit (word, string, character, or characters (including spaces)).
Select either General Filter or Task Filter to generate a report based on work to be done within a specific task. Use the available filter parameters to specify the report data you’re interested in.
Set your rates for translations and approvals.
Click Generate.

Note: Rates are automatically saved after you click Generate.

Genereting Cost Estimate

Rates

You can set the prices for Base rates (full translation, proofread) and configure Net Rate Schemes (percentage of the full translation rate paid for translation using TM suggestions).

Base Rates

In the Base Rates section, you can set rates for the following types of work:

Full translation – for each translation made by a person.
Note: If the string has several translations made by the same person, only one will be counted. If the string has several translations made by different people, each of them will be counted.
Proofread – for each approved translation.

Net Rate Schemes

In the Net Rate Schemes section, in addition to the base rates, you can set the percentage of the full translation rate to be paid for translations made using TM suggestions of various TM Match types. By default, you can configure the percentage of the full translation rate for the following TM Match types:

101 (perfect) – for translations made using Perfect match TM suggestions (source strings are identical to TM suggestion by text and context).
100 – for translations made using 100% match TM suggestions (source strings are identical to TM suggestion only by text).

You can also add your own TM match types, specifying the preferred percentage of text similarity and the percentage of the full translation rate to be paid for such a translation.

To add your own TM match types, follow these steps:

Click in the Net Rate Schemes section.
Click on the appeared button.
Specify the TM match range and the percentage of the full translation rate.
Click the to save the settings.

Adding TM Match Type

Adding Individual Rates

In addition to base rates that are applied to all languages by default, you can add individual rates for specific languages. To add individual rates, click Add individual rates.

To select the language or languages for individual rates, click the drop-down menu, and select the ones you need. You can create as many individual rates as you need.

Adding Individual Rates

Rate Templates

If you plan to work with multiple rate configurations, save them as templates by clicking Save as > New rates template, then specify the template name and click Save. With saved templates, you’ll be able to quickly switch between different configurations for report generation.

Click Templates to view and manage your saved rate templates.

Include Pre-translated Strings

Select Include pre-translated strings if you want to include pre-translated strings in a Cost Estimate report. By default, this option is selected.

For example, you have an untranslated string Validate your username in your project. You generate a Cost Estimate report with the Include pre-translated strings option selected. This string will be included in the Cost Estimate. Then you pre-translate this string via TM or MT engine and once again generate a Cost Estimate report with the Include pre-translated strings option selected. This time, the pre-translated string Validate your username won’t be included in the Cost Estimate report.

On the other hand, with the Include pre-translated strings option cleared, the string Validate your username will be included in the Cost Estimate report both times, when untranslated and when pre-translated via TM or MT engine.

Calculate Internal Fuzzy Matches

Internal Fuzzy Matches – Fuzzy TM matches found among the untranslated strings that potentially can be added to TM. For example, if the first string in the file is Validate your username, and the last one is Validate your username again, there will be an internal fuzzy match.

To get a more deliberate report that includes a prediction of internal fuzzy matches, select Calculate Internal Fuzzy Matches.

This way, all the internal matches would be counted to see how many strings can be added to TM if the strings are translated one by one as listed. Keep in mind that calculations are approximate because strings might be translated in a different order.

Note: Internal Fuzzy Matches would be counted according to the Net Rate Schemes configurations.

Result Analysis

When the report is generated, you will see the following amounts:

Total – general cost estimate for all languages.
Subtotals – cost estimate for each language which includes TM savings, translations and proofreading costs.

To download the Cost Estimate report, click Export and select the preferred export format (CSV, XLSX, or JSON).
