Hi David This is a good suggestion. This affects more languages than just Japanese. I guess most Pootle users have not had this problem as most people might not be translating from Korean and Thai frequently. Of course, we should ideally support this somehow. This will probably need some underlying support for counting, and then also some UI work to talk about "characters" rather than "words", so not quite a trivial job, but probably reasonably easy as soon as we know exactly how it should work. I think this is ideal for someone to try their hands at contributing to Pootle and the Translate Toolkit. For a start can we can just work on supporting this in pocount, which shouldn't be too hard. Thank you for the suggestion. Can you maybe just duplicate this in the bug tracker at bugs.locamotion.org as well? That way it is easier to keep track of it.
