I'll hazard an explanation, without looking at the specific question so
closed.
b) For presentations, regardless of how "word" is defined, words are not
fundamental to the final product. What matters is the aesthetics of each
frame, and the number of frames within the presentation. As such, words
are irrelevant;
Well, I do not want to be rude, but words (= their number) ***ARE***
fundamental to the (my) final product.
As I said, I am given PPT files (I hate to work with those!!!) to
TRANSLATE the content.
The _*number of words*_ (or the number of original (Japanese)
characters) defines how much money I get.
I do not care about the "looks" of the file (or academic definitions of
"word").
(from the Libreoffice Help page:
How does LibreOffice count words?
In general, every string of characters between two spaces is a word.
Dashes, tabs, line breaks, and paragraph breaks are word limits, too.)
All I need to know is the number of words - counted in a way that is
reproducible, since the translation agency will have its own opinion
about that.
Thank you
Thomas
