[Libreoffice-bugs] [Bug 131557] Erroneous word count (for French at least)
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=131557 --- Comment #9 from Francoise --- (In reply to Philippe from comment #7) Hello As a French user of Open Office, I totally agree with you, Philippe, the Word Count feature does not give the expected result for the French language. Word counting looks a trivial task but there are some rules in French. For example, all symbols that are not letters or numbers count for nothing: This is the case with punctuation marks (comma, period, colon, semi-colon, exclamation mark, question mark), hyphens, dashes, apostrophes, quotation marks, parentheses, and square brackets…. There is a web application that takes into account these rules: https://www.combiendemots.com/ The web clearly announces to be more efficient than Word and so on than OpenOffice since it gives same results… Enhance the Word Count feature could be an interesting marketing point because there are several administrative or educational procedures that require precise word counting and may have a big impact on the user life. So It could be a great enhancement for OpenOffice to offer a tool efficient enough that French users no need to copy and paste their text to another tool. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

[1]. So I won't consider this as bug, but as an enhancement request. I assume, that "white spaces" are nonbreaking spaces, right? So could you change bug summary in a way, that makes your idea more clear? Thank you.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=131557 Philippe changed: What|Removed |Added Ever confirmed|1 |0 Status|NEEDINFO|UNCONFIRMED --- Comment #7 from Philippe --- I added an odt file which the French count is 4 words instead of 2, a screenshot of the erroneous count and, for contrast, a screenshot of the correct count for the English text (showing that quotations marks should not be counted as words). I am using 6.4.2.2 on Ubuntu 20.4. Sorry if I was unclear with the inclusive writing stuff, LO counts it perfectly right, I was only trying to say that what seemed to me as the obvious solution could mess this up. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=131557 --- Comment #1 from sophie --- Hi, could you provide a document where the count is wrong and tell us which version and operating system you are using. For information, if I cut and paste "développeur·se", "développeur(se)", "développeur/se" or ""développeu-se" in Writer I get 5 words, 73 char. including spaces, 69 excluding spaces which is the right number of words. So I can't reproduce your issue in version 6.4.0.2 or 7.0 alpha. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
