It's the hyperlinks. Trados counts them differently than word.

See multifarious.filkin.com/.../wordcount for some more details.

Change the file type settings to "Extract only hyperlink text" to get a count like Word.

"This is intended behavior. Languages such as Chinese and Japanese are not considered word-based but character-based languages (one character frequently corresponds to one word). Therefore, Studio does not show a word count column in the analysis, as the accepted metric for counting is based on characters. "

Hi Hiroshi,

I'm sure SDL does admit this.  Wordcounts for Japanese and other languages that cannot be tokenized are always based on either characters or segments and this is quite common.  There's a useful article here you might find interesting.
