Long time lurker, first time poster - fingers crossed and thanks in advance for any help anyone can contribute.
In our instance we leverage parent/child translations. We have added a Country field to all articles, treating all English articles labelled as Global to be the Parent article which needs to be translated into all 4 non-English languages we support (Japanese, Malay, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese).
Problem statement: Knowledge governance would like a report/dashboard that alerts them to any Published, Global English article that is not translated into all expected languages (or none at all). So I need to be able to show them, for all Published/English/Global articles, all gaps where that article does not yet have Published Child articles in all of those 4 languages listed above. I have looked at kb_2_kb and I have attempted using Interactive Analysis on kb_knowledge. I just can't get to a report for the absence of required child articles. I would prefer to keep users in ServiceNow and find a way to integrate this information on a dashboard for them.
I have created a List report off of kb_knowledge (reporting off the Parent field), grouped by Parent that indicates how many translated versions there are but it's clunky, ugly and does not indicate where there are 0 translated versions...
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello @James Chun @Arnaldo @Mike D3 ,
I hope you all are doing well.
In ServiceNow, I have to take report of child knowledge articles using a parent article "KB1021001". How we can do this in ServiceNow. I appreciate your suggestion on this query.
Regards,
Bala

Just in case anyone was following along, I solved my own problem this morning... the solution was to report off of the translation task table. Our KB is configured so translation tasks are automatically created for all articles once the article moves to published state... this got me what I needed:
Thanks for everyone's suggestions and support!

I'm glad you solved the issue. Be careful though, it's possible to create a child article simply by filling in the 'translated from' field in it.
