This is the first time a customer has asked me to send back a false-positive report from X-bench
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?

I think your client wants a report indicating inconsistencies in the source text.

I would create a report by exporting the QA results (Tools/Export QA result), preferably as an Excel file, as it's the most easily read/edited. Then I would remove the irrelevant items. ▲ Collapse

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.
