Is Trados wordcount reliable?? I mean, I have to quote a translation of more than 300 files (html files) and I wonder whether the wordcount in Trados is reliable as I've found a difference of +/-20% between the wordcount I get in Trados and the one my client has obtained counting the words in each file 1 by 1 in Word. Thank you!! | | | RWSTranslation Deutschland Local time: 05:16 Deutsch > Englisch + ...
Hello, how counts your client ? There a lot of information for translation which are not seen in the html page (like title, skripts, ...) Hans

Word counts each single word whereas Trados counts only the effective words, i.e. it does not count placables like numbers, etc. The word count of Trados is usually lower than the one of Word.
