1) Word counts for PDFs

2) Internal repetitions - this is more for my own knowledge of how long it will take to do a project. I would not worry so much about comparing against a TM on a remote server, but it would be nice if I could compare it to a T... See more

Thanks Mar 8, 2012

Hi Jenn,

Many thanks for your help. I really appreciate it. Feel free to check out my first App, using the following QR Code (I think I'm the first translator to have one):

Nothing fancy, I know, but it will surely help my clients.
Best.
