What is the purpose of initiating the "Export Untranslated EnergyPlus Idf' ". Please help clarify?

Hello: I recently was importing an IDF using OpenStudio Version 2.9.1 plugin for Sketchup version 2017. I obtained a message after doing this saying "OpenStudio could not import all EnergyPlus Idf objects into your model, 13 objects could not be translated

To export these objects please use 'Plugins->OpenStudio->Export->Export Untranslated EnergyPlus Idf'

What is this actually telling me, and how would this help solve my problem of the untranslated objects? Thank you for your time.
