+### Quick Summary
+

+
+| Translation Type | Differences |
+|-----------------|-------------|
+| Main | 33 |
+| Documentation | 59 |
+| JavaScript | 7 |
+
+### Key Findings
+
+- **68.7%** (68 strings) are legitimate British vs American spelling differences that should be kept
+  - Examples: programme/program, metre/meter, grey/gray, polarisation/polarization
+  
+- **11.1%** (11 strings) should be standardized across both versions
+  - Examples: through/thru, pass-through/pass-thru, XML capitalization
+  
+- **6.1%** (6 strings) contain errors that need fixing in both versions
+  - Examples: typos like "gien" → "given", "ommitted" → "omitted"
+  
+- **14.1%** (14 strings) have grammar improvements that need review
+
+### Most Common Difference
+
+The single most common difference is **programme vs program** which appears in 54 of the 99 translated strings (54.5%). This is a fundamental British vs American English spelling difference.
+
+### Recommendation
+
+The translations are largely appropriate. Most differences (68.7%) serve the legitimate purpose of providing proper British and American English localization. The remaining differences represent opportunities to:
+
+1. Fix typos and errors
+2. Standardize technical terminology  
+3. Apply grammar improvements consistently
+
+### Usage
+
+To review the differences:
+1. See the detailed analysis in the Markdown file for context and recommendations
+2. Use the CSV file for filtering, sorting, and systematic review
+3. Use the source file contexts to locate the strings in the codebase
