Use Analysis Expert to determine (1) The amount of translation re-use you can achieve and (2) the expected cost of localizing this project. The Analysis Expert is one of several Experts that are integrated into Alchemy CATALYST and automate many of the manual steps involved in the Localization process.

The analysis phase is used to determine how much translation can be leveraged from a TM.
