Having not much experience with X-bench can I please have someone explain to me what this is all about?
How do I create such a report?

X bench report Feb 3, 2011

I have worked with several translation agencies that requested the full Xbench report along with the translated files. And they wanted the report commented - I could not erase any item, I just added the comment "false positive" when necessary.
