Hello experts,
I can ascertain the number of translation units by going to Workbench>File> Properties> Translation Units but is there any method to know the total number of words of source and target text in the memory?
Thanks and regards,
Chopra

We discussed this a little for interest over lunch and this idea was tabled by Oli.
Export the TMX, change the extension to .xml and process it as an input file in Studio, using Analysis against an empty TM. That will report the word count as well, and even characters. You would need to make sure the XML filter is set up correctly for TMX processing, and make sure that the relevant attributes (not tags) are marked up to only produce the source, target, or both as you wish in the r...

Just a thought in case someone technical on the forum wanted to give this a go? If we have time I might post back on this later.
