Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is a word count ratio and why does it matter?

The word count ratio is the expected size difference between the source text and the translation. Some languages expand by 20–30% (for example English to German), others contract. Knowing the ratio in advance prevents layout breakage in DTP, subtitles, and UI strings.
