Create a Word Count Profile

When launching a word count, Wordbee will calculate the number of characters, words, segments and repetitions present in the document(s) to translate. If you have attached a translation memory to the project, Wordbee will also pre-translate the document(s) from it.

You need to create a word count profile to: (for example)

  • Determine the percentage of match under which Wordbee should not pre-translate

  • Define the match intervals you want to display in the word count

  • Decide to translate text not already pre-translated by the translation memory via machine translation.

To create a word count profile, follow these steps:
