Save Your Time & Be Productive by Managing Localization with Updated Reports

6 mins read

We’re pretty excited to share the news: project managers, owners, proofreaders, and translators get the updated reports today! They are much easier to use, have a cleaner UI and a few new features. We also reviewed all of your suggestions for improvement of reports and implemented the most requested ones. We believe that you’ll be able to increase your productivity and manage the work on the project better using the updated reports.

What do I get using reports?

  • See how the project translation is going
  • Estimate and count the translation costs
  • Know when new strings were added or deleted
  • See how much each translator and proofreader contributed
  • Keep up with the major activities and updates in the project
  • Share insights with other project members exporting reports in CSV or XLSX files
  • And much more!

We’d also like you to know that from now on you can additionally switch between characters with spaces and characters without spaces when counting the text as requested. That should help you be more accurate estimating and counting the amount of work and costs for it.
