Logos 10 Sermon builder words counting for chinese is highly inaccurated

Zi Zhou

Hi I am a Logos sermon builder user, I just purchased it a few days ago, and I am really enjoying it. Still, there is one big issue for me, since I am a Mandarin preacher, and write my sermons in simplified Chinese, the word counting is highly inaccurate, eg. 12000 Chinese words have been calculated as 667 words in the display. So please fix it, it is really inconvenient to recount words by using other software. Thanks

Thanks for the feedback! Better word counting for Chinese is on our list of improvements for Sermon Builder.

Currently we hide the word count when Logos’ language is set to Simplified or Traditional Chinese, because we know it can be inaccurate and distracting. If your language is set to either of those in your Logos settings and you’re still seeing a word count, something went wrong.

We’d like to make the word count accurate for all languages, but there is some tricky nuance to it that has prevented us from doing it well. We hope to make this better in the future as prioritization allows.
