Statistics
The statistics function can be used to count the strings, words, and characters in a string list or in a complete project and to display the results grouped by translation status.
It is suitable for determining the scope of a localization project and thus provides the basis for a professional project plan.
The left side of the window displays the project list as a tree structure with the target languages available for the project as well as the names of the source files. If you select the All entry, all of the strings in the project's translation lists are counted. To count only those strings associated with one target language or one string list, select the corresponding entry. If your project only contains one translation list, the tree structure will not appear.
You can also obtain a more detailed overview, for instance in order to present your client with a cost estimate based on the number of words or characters in the project, to determine the number of translators required for the project, or to obtain a better estimate of the completion time based on the project scope.
