Hi,
I would like clarification on how Crowdin calculates hosted words. Specifically, are source strings that receive 100% or 101% matches from translation memory or are pre-translated automatically still counted as hosted words for billing, or are these excluded from the hosted word count and charges?
Hi @krishna.haldunde, hosted words in Crowdin are calculated as number of source words × number of target languages
For example, if you upload a file with 1,000 source words in English (source language) and set 3 target languages (Ukrainian, German, French), your account will have 3,000 hosted words
It doesn’t matter whether translations are already added (via TM, MT, or pre-translation) or not. Translations themselves are not counted. Only the source words and the number of target languages
