You can use them in the same manner as you do for other translation projects.
To create a Translation task document, you should select several texts that have empty Responsible field and State equal to To translate. They also should be indexed (not grey). Then, click Tasks group and Translation task inside of it. You will see the calculated amount of work. The formula, used for calculation is described in the Project section.
The Working time monitoring report does not depend on the project type and collects activity of users in the application. If a user does one of useful things in the application during 15 minutes interval, this interval considered as worked by this user.
Hope, this information helps you, if something is not clear still, please let me know and I will try to explain in more details.
There are two different methods how you can translate interfaces of 1C:Enterprise applications. 1. You can import interface texts from Edit interface texts tool of Designer mode directly into the dictionary. In this case when you finish translation you can export it as MXL file and import back into the application using Edit interface texts. 2. The more advanced method is creating a project of 1C configuration interface translation type. In this project you can import configuration files, that you can export from Designer mode using the Dump configuration to files tool. Please note, that you should dump and restore configuration files using the same version of 1C:Enterprise platform.
If you have problems with those methods, I can explain in more details the method that you select.
