I sure that my answer is correct i.e. the translation of the "wordcount ratio", however, I don't think it is the answer to the question you are asking for.
Per 1000 English words, how many Thai words will it be? It is very difficult to answer, however, with my past experience, it is about +/- 20% of the source words, e.g. 1000 English words could be translated into 800-1200 Thai words. |
