Hi all,

Let me ask something about Korean translation. I want to know what is the standard.

When I perform analyzing using TRADOS 2006 build 759 by Korean to Japanese TM, TRADOS generates an analyze log file which includes numbers of counts in a unit of WORDs.
However, for example, when I use Japanese to English TM for analyzing, the analyze log is counted by a unit of CHARACTERS.

My understanding is that TRADOS does analyzing based on a character count for character based languages, such as Japanese, Chinese, or Korean.
However, my TRADOS is generating a log based on WORD counts for Korean source TM.

Is this an exepcted behavior on TRADOS?
Which unit do Korean translators use for analyzing? Words ? Characters? ▲ Collapse

Anyway, Trados default is word count for Korean language and I can't find any option to change analysis unit in the latest version of Trados.

Hope it will help...
