<H3 ALIGN="CENTER">View 2. The Statistics Tab</H3>
<P>The first tab on the right panel of the RB Manager application is the
Statistics tab. As with all of the tab views, the statistics tab looks
and functions differently when working with the resource bundle as a whole
than when working with an individual resource file. For an overview of
this difference see <A HREF="view1.html">View 1</A>.</P>
<P><B>Working with a Resource Bundle</B></P>
<P>The screen shot below shows RB Manager and some statistics concerning
the resource bundle associated with the application.</P>
<P><IMG SRC="../images/screenshots/view_stats_bundle.gif" WIDTH="642" HEIGHT="543"></P>
<P>Three basic areas are covered by this view, Resource Files, Resource
Groups, and Resource Items.</P>
<P>In the Resource Files section, the total number of individual files is
shown as well as the names of these files (made up of the language, country,
and variant information known about the files). New resource files can
be added to the bundle by pressing the 'Add a New Resource File' button
or using the accelerator key (in this case 'N') in the manner specified
by your operating system. New files can also be added through the Options
menu.</P>
<P>In the Resource Groups section, the total number of groups associated
with the bundle as well as an alphabetical list of the groups is displayed.
For more information on Resource Groups, see the <A HREF="../tutorial/index.html">Tutorial</A>.
New groups can be created by pressing the 'Add a New Resourece Group'
button. This can also be done from the Options menu or the Groups tab
view.</P>
<P>In the Resource Items view, the total number of resources in the bundle
is displayed. This number represents the number of resources in the base
class file, as the other resource files are not required to posses all
of the resource items. In addition, the number of duplicated resource
keys is displayed. This number should be zero or the resource bundle may
not function the way it was intended to. The list box will display the
names of the duplicated keys, so that the errors can be removed. Note
that if you create your Resource Bundles through RB Manager, you should
never have duplicate keys. However, if you imported the bundles from another
source, this error can be a common one.</P>
<P><B>Working with a Resource File</B></P>
<P>The screen shot below shows the statistics view for an individual resource
file, in this case the German (Deutsch) file. For our example, I have
removed some of the translations from this file.</P>
<P><IMG SRC="../images/screenshots/view_stats_file.gif" WIDTH="671" HEIGHT="543"></P>
<P>This view shows some meta data that is associated with the Resource File.
This meta data has absolutely no impact on the functioning of the resource
bundle within an application. It is there solely to aid development and
translation teams in managing their efforts.</P>
<P>The Resource Title is a way to identify this file and will show at the
top of most views when working with a resource file. The Comment can be
used to specify anything special about this file. The Resource File Manager
is the person in charge of translations in the locale associated with
the file. The Language, Country, and Variant represent the long names
(i.e. not the ISO encodings) of the language, country, and variant associate
with the file. These are the names that show up in the Resource Tree.</P>
<P>Also displayed for the selected file is the total number of translations
in this file. This number should be less than or equal to the number of
translations in the bundle. The number of untranslated resource items
is also shown. These statistics are useful in monitoring the progress
of translation. To work with the untranslated items, a convenient view
is given in the Untranslated tab view.</P>
