Diff Checker with non-English text
Word counting for Latin-alphabet languages (English, Spanish, French, etc.) is straightforward: words are runs of letters separated by spaces. Languages like Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, and Korean use different segmentation rules — Diff Checker applies the Unicode standard, which is the closest thing to a neutral default.
For language-specific publishing where the target editor uses a different counting rule, verify with that editor's tool. For everything else, Diff Checker's output is the cross-language standard.
