Description chansol98s 2022-08-26 11:25:10 UTC
Description:
Libreoffice Writer counts every Korean character as a word, which results in incorrect word counts for Korean text.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In Writer, input any text in Korean. For example, "이 문장은 여섯 단어로 이루어져 있습니다."
2. Check the word count at Tools > Word Count

Actual Results:
The word count is incorrect, counting every Korean character as a word. For the above example, the word count shows up as 18.

Expected Results:
The word count should only count words, not characters. For the above example, the word count should be 6.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
In Korean writing, a word is defined the same way as English, so a string of characters separated by a space counts as a single word. 

Some more examples:
아주 짧은 예시  //Actual 3 words, Writer counts 6.
이 문장은 여섯 단어로 이루어져 있습니다.  //Actual 6 words, Writer counts 18.
예시로, 이런 문장도 가능하겠지요?  //Actual 4 words, Writer counts 16.
