Translation progress reporting#

Reporting features give insight into translation progress over a given period. A summary of contributions to any given component over time is provided. The reporting tool is found in the Insights menu of the dashboard, any translation component, or project:

../../_images/reporting.webp

Several reporting tools are available on this page, all of which can produce output in HTML, reStructuredText or JSON. The first two formats are suitable for embedding statistics into existing documentation, while JSON is useful for further processing of the data.

You can choose predefined periods or enter a custom date range. In that case, the contributions are counted at midnight – that means that it includes the starting date and excludes the ending date.

Number of words#

A word is any sequence of characters (letters, numerics, special characters) between whitespace (spaces, tabs, newlines). In the example string below, the word count is 9.

I've just realized that they have 5 %(color)s cats.

For plural strings, the number of words is counted as the sum of words for all plural forms.

Translator credits#

Generates a document usable for crediting translators — sorted by language and lists all contributors for a given language:

* Czech

    * John Doe <john@example.com> (5)
    * Jane Doe <jane@example.com> (1)

* Dutch

   * Jane Doe <jane@example.com> (42)

Hint

The number in parenthesis indicates the number of contributions in given period.

Contributor stats#

Generates the number of translated words and strings by translator name:

This can be useful if you pay your translators based on the amount of work done; it gives you various stats of translators’ work.

All stats are available in four variants:

Total

Overall number of all edited strings.

New

Amount of newly translated strings which didn’t have a translation before.

Approved

Amount of strings approved in the review workflow (see Dedicated reviewers).

Edited

Amount of edited strings which had a translation before.

The following metrics are available for each:

Count

Amount of strings.

Edits

Amount of edited characters in the string, measured in Damerau–Levenshtein distance.

Source words

Amount of words in the source string.

Source characters

Amount of characters in the source string.

Target words

Amount of words in the translated string.

Target characters

Amount of characters in the translated string.
