The Pre-translate report provides details about the initial status of the translations in your project. It displays any matches already found so that you can get an idea of how much work is involved before you begin. The report data is split into four parts: Summary, Settings, Totals and File Details. Each part is described below.
The data that appears in this report was generated during project creation as it is included in some of the pre-defined task sequences. You can also generate the report manually by performing the Pre-Translate Task.
This is project level data.
