Topic: Count characters of source and target segment
Poster: Emma Goldsmith
Post title: Verification
The character count of each target segment is shown in the status bar at the bottom, but it doesn't show the source count.
You can customise an error warning for target segments that are longer than the source segments under Project settings>Verification>QA checker>Segments Verification.
That should flag longer target segments, but you won't see the warning until you've confirmed the segment and moved to the next.
