Analyze Project Files

Project analysis compares source files to a connected translation memory (TM) to leverage reusable content. Use the Analyze action to assess files prior to translation or to pretranslate files.

To analyze project files:

In the Current Project view, click Analyze on the Project Files tab.
On the Project Analyze dialog, select the language pairs and files for analysis.

Alert:
Verify that the TXLF file you want to analyze is not open in TXLF Editor. You cannot analyze an open file.
