Linguists

  1. Open XTM Workbench for a particular file (see How to open a file for translation in a created project for more information). In XTM Workbench, go to File → Metrics.

A popup containing the word count is displayed:

  1. Go to Tasks → Planned/Active/Closed, click on the context menu for a particular file, and select Show metrics.

Word count will be included:

  1. Go to Tasks → Active, and you will see the word count on the right-hand side of the page in the Words column.

IMPORTANT!

Keep in mind that a Linguist can only see the word count for an individual file and not the entire project, even though all the files in a specific project are assigned to that linguist.

Administrators/project managers

  1. Go to Projects → Project list, and click on the name of a specific project.

Alternatively, you can go to the Show metrics section straight away, from the project context menu:

  1. Go to Projects → Project list, select Columns, and select the Words column:

From now on, the word count for the entire project will be displayed in the main project section:

Good to know!

While in the Metrics section, you can always click either the Save as XLSX or Save as CSV button to export metrics in a report.
