Work reports in LingoHub track and display translation and proofreading activity across your projects. They give you full visibility into team performance and progress by showing who performed edits, how many words changed, and the overall summary per actor for any selected timeframe.
💬 Please note: You can always view your own work reports. However, viewing work reports for other team members requires appropriate permissions (accessible by default to Owners, Admins, and Localization Managers).
How to access Work reports
To view Work reports in your workspace:
Click Activity in the top navigation bar.
Select Work reports from the left navigation panel.
Filtering options
At the top of the Work reports page, you can narrow down displayed data using the primary filters:
Date range: Select pre-set timeframes (e.g., Last 7 days, Last 30 days, This month) or choose custom start and end dates.
All actors: Filter data by specific human linguists or LINAs, or leave it set to All actors to view workspace-wide activity.
All languages: Filter by specific language pairs or keep All languages selected.
All projects: View report data for a specific project or across All projects.
Filter: Click the Filter button in the top right to apply advanced conditions (e.g., matching specific work log criteria).
Understanding Summary and Work logs
The Work reports page is divided into two distinct sections:
1. Summary
The Summary table gives a high-level overview of each actor's productivity for the selected date range, language pair, and project filter. It breaks down the total number of words processed into four effort categories: Proofreading, Low effort, Middle effort, and High effort.
2. Work logs
Work logs collect and consolidate all edits made to a specific segment within a single day into one daily log entry (preventing clutter when the same segment is modified multiple times throughout a day).
Daily work logs are generated per actor, source segment, and language. New log entries are created based on the following:
Multiple actors: If two users edit the same segment in the same language, two separate work logs are created.
Source text updates: If a source segment changes during the day (e.g., "This is a car" is updated to "This is a blue car") and a translator translates both versions, two distinct work logs are generated.
Inspecting Work log details
From the Work logs table, you can inspect individual entries in detail or open the segment directly in the Editor:
View entry details: Click on any entry to open the Details page. This view displays full metadata, including the Date, Project, Member, Source text, Work (translated output), and total Words processed.
Open in Editor: Click on the Editor icon to go straight to that exact text segment in the Editor. Here, you can review segment history, check translation statuses, or make live edits in the side panel.
Edit Effort Score (EES)
The Edit Effort Score (EES) quantifies the volume of editing required for a translation on a scale from 0 to 100. Work report word counts are categorized into four levels based on this score:
Proofreading (no effort): No changes were made to the text (EES = 0).
Low effort: Minor adjustments were made to the segment.
Middle effort: Moderate modifications were made.
High effort: The text was almost completely rewritten.
How to adjust Edit Effort Score thresholds
You can customize the numerical range for each effort tier to align with your organization's workflow or cost calculation standards:
Click the Manage effort button in the top-right header.
In the Edit effort score settings modal, adjust the Range start and Range end values for Low, Middle, and High effort.
Click Save.
💬 Please note: The Edit Effort Score directly impacts cost calculations.
Exporting Work reports
You can export report data for offline reporting and auditing:
Export PDF: Click Export PDF in the top header to generate a downloadable PDF report.
Export CSV: Click Export CSV in the top header. In the popup window, choose whether to receive an email notification when the file is ready, then click Download.
💬 Please note: Work reports consolidate edits into a single daily summary per segment and actor for tracking daily volume, Effort Scores, and billing, whereas Text edits logs record every granular event and status change in real time.
