TU import statistics

When you import translation units (TUs) into a translation memory (TM), you can check the import result in the Translation Unit Import dialog.

The Translation Unit Import dialog contains information about scheduling and TU statistics:
  • Total or RawTU - This is the total number of TUs involved in the import.
  • Added - These TUs are added to the TM when no duplicate or errors are found in the TM.
  • Merged - TU context or TU fields (from the imported TUs) are added to the TM. This happens if the imported TU is a duplicate of an existing TU and the imported one contains extra fields/information.
  • Errors - These TUs were not imported.
  • Overwritten - TU context or TU fields (from the imported TUs) replace the ones in the TM. This happens if the imported TU is a duplicate of an existing TU.
  • Discarded - The imported TU was rejected or skipped (if it was explicitly filtered out). This happens:
    • If the imported TU contains attributes for fields that are not part of TM and Unknown fields is set to Skip
    • If the imported TU is a perfect duplicate (source and target) and there is nothing to merge
  • Bad - These TUs were not imported.
