Comment:
I have zero knowledge of Chinese, so I ask: does Chinese use normal spaces
in between "words"? The filter uses `len(value.split())` to count the
words, and if the `.split()` isn't working then the problem is obvious.
Since that is all the built-in filter does, I don't think there's anything
we can do to make it work for special language cases. Better to write your
own filter that works (and perhaps submit it as an enhancement)
