Hi Katia, 
 
I think this depends on what you are trying to achieve. If you are using a process where you can either open all the files together, or where you can extract the repetitions and translate them before you start then it may be interesting to know this information. 
 
But if you aren't, then taking this into consideration and reporting on this information isn't really going to reflect the effort involved. 
 
That would be my view anyway.
