Does anyone know how charaters are counted by Labguage Weaver?
I have taken out a 1-month subscription and translated about 50,000 words in six days and now I am looking at the reports and it turns out I've already exceeded 1,000,000 characters. It's not letting me use it use it anymore.
This is really weird, the total number of files added to my projects in Trados total about 50,000 words.
Any ideas?
Thank you very much.

Hello Fernando,
Thank you for flagging this, I'll try to look into this or ask one of my support colleagues to assist. To further investigate, can you please let me know if you used the pre-translate option or if you have translated each segment at a time in Trados Studio? Can you also share your Trados Studio version and Language Weaver plugin version ?
Thank you,
Madalina
Hello Fernando,
Language Weaver counts all characters sent for translation. If you are using Trados Cloud resources, Cloud Resources (powered by Language Weaver) is treated as a TM in Trados Studio. If LookAhead is enabled, multiple segment translation will be triggered as you work through the file, thus inflating MT usage. To prevent this from happening, pre-translate the file and then disable the machine translation provider.
I hope this helps answer your question. I will move the post to the Trados Studio - machine translation dedicated section, in case you require further assistance.
Thank you,
Madalina
Another option is to use the Language Weaver plugin from the AppStore. This will allow you to set this option which prevents unnecessary drawing down from your allowance as you navigate up and down your file:
