Is it possible to add the length of the text (or selected text) of the original and translation in the status line in the editor? This can be useful if there are restrictions on the length of the translation.
You can create a QA rule to handle the length restrictions and receive a warning if you exceed it as you translate.
Some filetypes also provide you with the ability to use variable length checks for QA as well:
- XML if the file contains the values to be used somewhere in the file
- Bilingual Excel if the lengths are written down again in a column
- subtitle translation using the appstore plugin
You can also use AutoHotkey as a neat solution:
Perhaps something there will help you and if you still want source/target char counts in the Editor status bar raise an idea for it:

You've done the courses and still need to go a little further, or still not clear?
