Number of untranslated source words and more...
Hello, good afternoon
It would be good to be able to know the number of untranslated source words for a language or multiple languages in a specific project.
On another hand - the column "RW" is the value that shows the number of words the main editor adds in a specific time frame. Also, the column "words" shows the number of translated words in the TARGET languages (please correct me if I'm wrong). Neither of these two columns don't show the number of translated SOURCE words in a specific language in a specific time frame, thing that makes very difficult to know the number of source translated words that us, as an agency, need to charge to the client.
Please let me know your thoughts on this matter. Thanks a lot.

‘RW (Reference Words)’ represents the total amount of words from the Reference Language (source language) translated by a user in the selected time frame. This is the value you seem to be looking for.
‘Words’ represents the total amount of words added in the target language by a user in the selected time frame.
To see how many words are left to be translated in a language, the project owner or one of the project admins can follow the instructions here: https://poeditor.com/kb/translation-word-count

Thanks for the fast reply.
Noted regarding RW and Words, thanks.
I've checked the link following the instructions creating a Test project adding 37 words in 17 strings, and translating 8 words (filling 4 strings). I can see in STATS that the number of translated strings is correct (4) but the nº of words is 0 (when it should be 28 as remainng sourcewords in the project). On top of that, using the very same project the RW value is 0 when we translated 8 words. All in all the whole thing doesn't seem to be accurate...Is there any way for me to send you a short video recording my desktop to show you exactly what I mean? Or perhaps I can invite you as a contributor to the test project? Kindly let me know.
Thanks in advanace
