Hello!  

It seems you're experiencing a frustrating issue with the analysis report and progress bar in Trados Studio 2024 (v18.0.2.3255). Let's break down the steps to address this:

**Step 1:** Verify the Progress Calculation  

The progress percentage in Trados Studio is now calculated based on the number of segments rather than words. This change was made to ensure that segments containing only empty spaces or tags are not disregarded. Therefore, the progress bar may not align with the word count you expect.

**Step 2:** Confirm Segments Properly  

Make sure that you are confirming segments correctly. Go to the 'Review' tab and click on 'Confirm All' to ensure all segments are confirmed. This should help update the progress bar accordingly.

**Step 3:** Run Batch Tasks  

To refresh the statistics, run the following batch tasks:

- Analyze Files

- Translation Count

- Word Count  

You can do this by selecting the project in the Projects view, then navigating to Home > Tasks > Batch Tasks.

**Step 4:** Check for Updates  

Ensure that your Trados Studio is up-to-date. Sometimes, bugs are fixed in newer updates, so checking for updates within the application can be beneficial.

**Step 5:** Review the Screenshots  

Since you mentioned that you have attached screenshots showing the discrepancies, it would be helpful to review them closely. If they highlight specific issues, consider sharing them with the community for further insights.

**Step 6:** Consider Workarounds  

If the issue persists, you might want to explore workarounds such as creating a dedicated analysis project or using the SDL Analyze app from the RWS AppStore for more straightforward analysis.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, please provide more details about any error messages or specific behaviors you observe, and we can explore further solutions together.

I guess it's all maths!

So if we look at your screenshot you have 30 translated and 1 draft segment.  Assuming only translated count towards progress that gives you 30/175 which is 17.14% progress.  Looks about right.

If I recall correctly this method became a thing in 2022 and was changed because a "Segment = Unit of Work" and translators confirm segments, not words.  A file might have 1000 words in just 20 segments, or the same 1000 words spread across 100 segments. Segment-based progress reflects how much of the actual "click and confirm" work is done.  This is more accurate for mixed-content files where some segments might contain only tags, numbers, or placeholders, and a word count would either inflate or misrepresent progress.  By counting segments, Trados avoids confusion over “why a file with only 3 words still shows 0%”.

If you want other types of reporting you can customise the view (right-click) and choose to show progress with words instead of segments, or even better use a AIP report from your batch tasks for more granularity.
