Analysis

You can use actions on the Analysis tab to create TXLF files or assess potential translation memory (TM) matches and repetitions for selected source files.

Analyze without using the TM panel is a quick way to obtain the word count of the files before TM leveraging.

You do not need to select languages when using Analyze without a TM.
