1. A machine implemented method for providing statistics characterizing translation work in synchronizing content in different languages, comprising the steps of: activating a spider agent to crawl a website for content in a first language via a publicly accessible network path for synchronizing a translated version of the content in the first language previously generated in a second language; parsing the crawled content in the first language into a plurality of translatable components; accessing a database that stores translated components previously generated in the second language; identifying at least some of the plurality of translatable components in the first language that do not have a corresponding translated component in the second language in the database; generating statistics based on the identified translatable components to estimate the work load involved in language translation of the identified translatable components from the first language to the second language; and providing information including the generated statistics to characterize a service related to synchronizing the content in the first and second languages.
