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