Project Reports

To view your project status along with existing issues, assess the effectiveness of pre-translation methods, estimate and count the translation cost, keep track of the most active members, and view historical data of previously generated reports, open your project and select Reports on the left sidebar.

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.

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 the 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

The Project Summary section provides a comprehensive visual analysis of your project’s translation progress using the following graphs: Translation activity, Proofreading activity, Source strings activity, and Translation savings.

There are four periods available: Last week, Last 30 days, Last 24 hours, and Last year. The graphs are generated based on the text unit type selected for the Project Size section.

• Translation activity: displays the volume of translated units (words, strings, characters) over time. It displays three lines simultaneously - units translated by human translators, units translated by Translation Memory (TM), and units translated by Machine Translation (MT). By hovering over the data points, you can view daily or monthly totals for each category.

• Proofreading activity: displays the approval and voting activities within your project. It shows two lines - approved units and vote quantities, allowing you to see how review activity is trending over time. By hovering over the data points, you can view the daily or monthly number of approved texts and votes.

• Source strings activity: displays the number of units added, deleted, or updated over time. By hovering over the bars, you can see the specific changes that occurred each day or month.

• Translation savings: displays the savings achieved through use of Translation Memory (TM), Machine Translation (MT), and AI-assisted translation. You can switch between viewing savings as a percentage of translated units or in currency. The graph provides a breakdown of savings by translation method, which can be viewed for all target languages or for specific languages. Hovering over the bars provides detailed information on savings per method on a daily or monthly basis.

Each graph allows you to focus on specific data by hovering over elements for more detailed information or by adjusting display settings to highlight or hide certain parameters.

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 filter parameters:

• Tasks: Not selected, All tasks, or a specific task.
• Language: All or specific target language.
• Strings Added: All time, Today, Yesterday, Last 7 days, Last 30 days, or Custom range.
• Files: All or specific files.
• Workflow step (Specific to projects with a workflow): All or a specific workflow step.
• Labels (Specific to projects with labels): Not selected, Strings with selected labels, or Strigns without selected labels.

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:

1. Select the preferred currency and the report unit (word, string, character, or characters (including spaces)).
2. Use the available filter parameters to specify the report data you’re interested in.
3. Set your rates for translations and approvals.
4. Click Generate.

Note

Rates are automatically saved after you click Generate.

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 multiple translations made by the same person, only one is counted. If the string has several translations made by different people, each of them is 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:

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

Adding Custom Rates

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

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

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.

When saving a new template you can choose the template visibility using the following options:

• Share with all project members – makes the template visible to all translators within the project. Regardless of the number of translators or their different rates, they all will have access to the template. It can include both general rates and custom rates for specific languages and translators, along with a net rate scheme. This transparency promotes clarity in pricing, allowing translators to review rates, generate reports on their translations, and calculate cost estimates. The key benefit is that translators understand the net rate scheme and can apply their base rate, even if it’s not included in the template.

• Share with managers within the organization – makes the template global, visible only to managers across all projects of the organization. This option streamlines rate consistency across various projects.

If neither of the options is selected, the template remains visible only to managers within the current project, limiting access to a select group of project members. These options provide flexibility in controlling who can view and use the rate template to accommodate different organizational preferences.

Saved templates allow you 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).

Translation Cost

Use this report to calculate the actual translation cost based on the completed job.

You can generate a Translation Cost report based on the following filter parameters:

• Group by: Member or language.
• Time period: All time, Today, Yesterday, Last 7 days, Last 30 days, or Custom range.
• Files: All files (including deleted) or Selected files (excluding deleted).
• Language: All or specific target language.
• Users: All users or specific users.
• Tasks: All Tasks or specific task.

Generating a Report

To generate the Translation Cost report, follow these steps:

1. Select the preferred currency and the report unit (word, string, character, or characters (including spaces)).
2. Use the available filter parameters to specify the report data you’re interested in.
3. Set your rates for translations and approvals.
4. Click Generate.

Note

Rates are automatically saved after you click Generate.

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, MT suggestions, and existing translations).

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, MT suggestions, and other translations of various Match types.

By default, you can configure the percentage of the full translation rate for the following match type categories:

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).

MT Match types:

• 100 – for translations made using 100% match MT suggestions (new suggested translations are identical to MT suggestion).

Other translations types:

• 100 – for translations made using existing translations (new suggested translations are identical to the existing translations).

If a string has a combination of TM and MT suggestions and existing translations, the new translation is counted at the lowest Net Rate Scheme value. For example, if a string has a 101% (perfect) TM match suggestion (10% of the full translation rate) and a 100% MT match suggestion (5% of the full translation rate), the new translation added to this string will be counted at a 5% of the full translation rate.

You can also add your own TM, MT, and Other translations 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 match types, follow these steps:

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

Adding Custom Rates

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

To select the languages and members for custom rates, click the drop-down menus, and select the ones you need. You can create as many custom rates as you need.

Using Additional Translation Cost Options

• Exclude Approvals for Edited Translations: select this option to exclude approvals when the same user has translated the string. This helps ensure that your cost reporting is more accurate by avoiding the duplication of approval costs.

• Pre-Translated Strings Categorization Adjustment: select this option to have repetitive translations of pre-translated strings categorized under TM or MT match rates, rather than the default Other suggestion match rates. This is useful because post-editing translations from MT engines usually requires more effort than post-editing translations from human translators, leading to a more precise and fair measure of costs related to your translators.

Result Analysis

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

• Information about users: profile picture, full name, username, and role.
• Costs: total and separate for each user (for all contributions, contributions to a specific language, distinguished for translated and approved text by a member), and the amount of savings for translations made with TM and MT suggestions.

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

Pre-translation Efficiency

Use this report to assess the effectiveness of pre-translation methods (via AI, MT, and TM) used in your project by analyzing post-editing required for pre-translated strings before approval. It compares the initial pre-translated strings with the final approved translations after post-editing, categorizing data based on the edit distance and pre-translation method. This report allows you optimize your translation workflows and improve overall content quality by identifying the best-performing pre-translation methods.

Report Scope

• Includes only approved strings with at least one pre-translation.
• If multiple pre-translations exist for a string, each is included with its edit distance.
• Only the top translation is used for comparison if multiple approvals exist.

Use Case and Best Practices

Typical Use Case:

1. Launch Pre-translation – use different methods (via AI, MT, and TM) for a portion of your content. Alternatively, you can use one method (e.g., AI) and compare various prompts with different settings.
2. Invite a Proofreader – have the pre-translated content reviewed and approved by a proofreader.
3. Generate Report – use the Pre-translation Efficiency report to evaluate which pre-translation method performed best by requiring the least amount of post-editing.
4. Optimize Workflow – use the most effective pre-translation method for all your content.

Best Practices:

• Regular Reviews – regularly generate and review the report to stay informed about the performance of your pre-translation methods.
• Adjust Methods – use the insights from the report to adjust your pre-translation methods. For example, if AI pre-translations require minimal edits, consider increasing their use.

Generating a Report

You can generate a Pre-translation Efficiency report based on the following filters:

• Task – Not selected, All Tasks, or a specific task.
• Language – All, specific language.
• Strings added (Date range of when the strings were approved) – All time, Today, Yesterday, Last 7 days, Last 30 days, This month, or Custom range.

Additionally, using the report’s Settings, you can adjust how the post-editing information will be displayed on the graphs:

• Total – aggregates all post-editing data without breakdown.
• Split into Categories by Edit Distance % – offers a detailed view by categorizing units based on the extent of editing required.

To generate the Pre-translation Efficiency report, follow these steps:

1. Select the preferred report unit (words, strings, characters with or without spaces).
2. (Optional) Select the task if you want to generate a report based on work done within all or specific tasks. Alternatively, leave it as Not selected to generate a report based on a wider content scope.
3. Select the preferred language.
4. Select the time period.
5. Click Settings and select one of the available options to configure how you want the post-editing information to be displayed.
6. Click Generate.

Result Analysis

When the report is generated, you will see the information grouped into pre-translation methods (via AI, MT, and TM):

• Pre-translation via AI:
  • Total approved words, pre-translated by AI
  • Separate graphs for each prompt
• Pre-translation via MT:
  • Total approved words, pre-translated by MT
  • Separate graphs for each MT engine
• Pre-translation via TM:
  • Total approved words, pre-translated by TM

In each section, the data is displayed as histograms and pie charts:

• Stacked Histogram – visualizes the distribution of units approved with or without edits. It categorizes units based on the extent of post-editing, such as:

  • Approved with no post-edit
  • Post-edited with varying degrees of edit distance

• Pie Chart – displays the proportion of units approved with no post-edits compared to those that were post-edited. This provides a clear view of the percentage breakdown of pre-translated units.

To download the Pre-translation Efficiency report, click Export and select the preferred export format (CSV, XLSX, or JSON).

Contribution Raw Data Report

In addition to the Translation Cost report, which is based on the Contribution Raw Data and grouped by languages, you can retrieve this detailed contribution raw data using the Generate Report (Contribution Raw Data schema) or via the Raw Report Data app available on the Crowdin Store. This allows you to generate your own custom report according to your specific requirements.

The Contribution Raw Data report provides various columns depending on the selected mode (translations, approvals, or votes). Each column offers specific insights, for example source string text hash, which is useful for identifying changes in source strings despite having the same stringId. It’s important to note that multiple records can exist for the same stringId if the source hash or plural form varies.

For repeated translations by the same user on the same source string, into the same target language, the same plural form, and if the source text has not changed, only the translationId, targetUnits, and updatedAt columns will update in the report statistics. Deleted translations are also included in the count. Understanding these columns can help you better interpret the raw data and optimize your localization process.

View the available report columns and their mode applicability (i.e., translations, approvals, and votes) in the following table:
