: I've always counted source words to calculate fees,
: and thought that this was standard, and logical,
: practice. Now I've read on this list that a
: translator is counting target words to calculate
: fees.
: 1. Which language do you count from? Source
: or target?
: 2. If target, what's your reasoning?
/*by default U count the words from the source file (text format). If your source is a fax, u use the word count of the target language.
