Creating Translation Reports (Chat)

Translation reports can be a useful tool that provides you with the raw data that you need to review your chats for a given time period and create analytics such as looking at average conversation length, word counts, frequent locales, chats metadata, etc. 

Use Cases

There are two ways to generate reports, that each require separate settings: for chat transcripts as a whole, or for chat messages individually. The latter requires the 'Keep Chat Messages” setting to be enabled.

These reports can help you retrieve the following information:

• Chat transcripts:
  • Translated Chat Transcripts (in HTML format)
  • The end-user’s Locale for each Chat Session
  • The translation word count for each Chat Session
• Individual chat messages:
  • The Translation Turn-Around Time (TAT) for each translation (how long it took between the request and the translation being delivered)
  • If the agent or the end user flagged a translation

You can use multiple filters to run reports. Some are common, such as Created Date, Created by, Start Time, etc. Other filters include fields like Agent Name, Agent Average Response Time, Chat Transfer, etc. These filters correspond to fields in the Native Chat Transcript object, but you can use them in combination with the Language IO Chat Transcript object to generate the relevant reports.

As of December 2024, for early-access users, reports can also include Lio Agent Assistant through the use of the following filters:

• LanguageIOLA_SuggestedRepliesSent_c: the number of replies suggested by Lio Agent Assistant that an agent accepted and sent.
• LanguageIOLA_SuggestedRepliesEdited__: the number of replies suggested by Lio Agent Assistant that an agent accepted, but edited before sending it.
• LanguageIOLA_SuggestedRepliesDiscarded__: the number of replies suggested by Lio Agent Assistant that an agent rejected.
