Analyzing files for word counts and more
Contents
Word count is included in every file analysis report. The analysis process extracts translateable content from source files into a bilingual TXLF file, leverages the content against existing translation memories, and generates a report listing matches, non-matches, word count, character count, and segment count. There are different ways to analyze a file.
