Hi @Gabriella Juhász

When you are active in a segment, look at the bottom right of your SDL Trados Studio screen.

Depending on file type, we could also see if the contextual pane can show character counts.
I hope this helps

Regards

Lydia

Dear Lydia,

Oh, it is so simple?! Thank you so much! :) In my file it works only in the target segment, but I am already happy about it.

Kind regards,

Gabriella

Just a tip... if you use Autohotkey there is a great solution for counting segment characters... in fact for counting chars in any application at all.

The scripts is here:

community.rws.com/.../counting-characters-in-a-segment

So if you need a little more than the good solution from Lydia it might be helpful.

Thank you, Paul, it opens up a new world for me!

Dear Paul,

could you please post this script again? The link above doesn't work any more.

Thank you!
