Bug #: 45271
Summary: : The way Writer counting Chinese words is not correct
Classification: Unclassified
Product: LibreOffice
Version: LibO 3.5.0 RC2
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Status Whiteboard: BSA
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Problem description:
The way of counting Chinese words in the word count function of Libreoffice is
not suitable (and even useless) to Chinese speakers.
In Chinese, we count "character" instead of "word." For example, 蘋果 (a.k.a.
apple) is a "word" with two characters. In fact, the meaning of "word" in
Chinese equals the meaning of "character" in English.
Therefore, the following word count should be three words:
" 蘋果 apple"
But the current behavior of word count would show two words because it counts
蘋果 as one word while it should be counted as two words in Chinese.
This is a longstanding bug for Chinese speakers.
