How to compare content coverage across language versions
A coverage check helps identify sections or messages that are missing from a supplied language version. It is useful when translation work needs a clear inventory of what still remains.
Start with the right material.
- What you provide
- source and translation supplied together on one page.
- The intended result
- Report omitted headings, bullets or disclaimers with source references.
How the workflow works.
Align the selected source and target content by section or identifier. Distinguish missing material from deliberate differences that the content owner has approved.
What to check in the result.
Review uncertain matches and keep the scope explicit. A coverage check does not establish that the translation is accurate or that every page in the site has been examined.
Import the CSV with a consistent delimiter and inspect text identifiers, dates and amounts before using spreadsheet totals. Keep the original file available while checking any automatic type conversion.
Learn from the worked example.
The downloadable CSV example uses these columns: Source section, Translation coverage, Review action. Compare a complete record with the source before sorting, combining or importing your own output.
The supplied example is illustrative. It is not a recorded run on your data.

- Open the source you want to work with and activate WebAct on that tab.
- Copy the task from the hero, add any required fields or preferences, and review the proposed actions.
- Compare the first result with your source. Ask for a specific correction or refinement where needed.
