Yes, you can save the target document and get a wordcount then, but specially with "exotic" file types this is not always easy.
And moreover, I would need a way to eventually get that number programmatically.
Any ideas? (Besides going through the XLIFF and count it there?)
Hi Remy,
As Paul is saying, you can create a batch task that does that.
I published an implementation for reference as an example on my github account. It counts words in each target file and creates a report.
Hi Everyone,
It's been 6 months since this has been posted, but I will be releasing ver. 1 of my plug-in.
Here are some screenshots.
1. You can select the plug-in from the batch tasks (it is called "Target Word Count"):
2. Here are the settings:
- You can count words in both Source and Target (select which one you want from the radio button)
- If you want to do a line count, select "Calculate per line" and enter the character count per line in the box (in my example it is 55)
- "Include spaces" is only used when you want to do a line count
- Enter rates into the grid and click "Save Rates" to save an xml file so you can reload settings in other projects
Any feedback would be appreciated!
