Can I check word count for multiple languages in WordCountCheck? Hell yes – English, Chinese, Arabic, Spanish… it handles them all perfectly. Here’s proof.
You’re writing a blog post in Spanish, your client wants the English version under 800 words, and you’ve got random Arabic quotes sprinkled in. Panic mode, right? Been there. So I grabbed WordCountCheck and threw every weird language combo at it I could think of. The result? It didn’t just work — it crushed it. Here’s exactly how it handles multiple languages so you can stop guessing.
Can WordCountCheck Really Handle Any Language I Throw at It?
Yes. Full stop.
I tested English, Spanish, French, German, Arabic, Russian, Hindi, Korean, Japanese, and Mandarin. Every single one counted perfectly. No weird glitches, no missing accented letters, no crying emojis from me.
How Does It Count Languages With No Spaces (Chinese, Japanese, Korean)?
Super smart.
For languages that don’t use spaces (CJK), WordCountCheck automatically treats each character as one “word” and shows you both:
- Character count with spaces
- Character count without spaces (this is the one you actually want)
- Sentence and paragraph count
So when I pasted 500 Chinese characters, it instantly told me “500 words” and “500 characters (no spaces)” — exactly what translators and authors need.
What About Right-to-Left Languages Like Arabic or Hebrew?
Flawless.
The text stays right-to-left, punctuation doesn’t get double-counted, and the numbers are dead accurate. I ran a 300-word Arabic paragraph through it — matched Google Docs and Microsoft Word to the exact digit.
Can I Check Mixed-Language Documents?
Yes — and it’s stupidly convenient.
Highlight just the Spanish section you want (or paste it separately) and WordCountCheck gives you the count for that chunk alone. Perfect when your intro is English, body is Spanish, and you’ve got French quotes thrown in for flair.
What If I’m a Translator or Student Submitting in Two Languages?
You’re golden — this is where WordCountCheck saves lives. Agencies and professors often demand separate counts: “700 words English + 600 words Spanish” or “total characters under 4,000 including the Japanese abstract.” Because the tool has no login and no text history, I just open three tabs at once: one for English, one for Spanish, one for Japanese. Paste → copy the numbers → done. No switching apps, no exporting files. Last month I billed a translation client an extra hour because I finished the counting and proofreading in ten minutes instead of an hour. That single feature has paid for every coffee I’ve drunk this year.
Quick Example from My Last Project
Last week I had:
- 412 English words
- 389 Spanish words
- 127 Arabic words
Pasted each part separately into WordCountCheck → got exact numbers in under 10 seconds. Client was happy, I stayed sane.
Bottom line: Yes, you can check word count for multiple languages with WordCountCheck — and it works better than most paid tools I’ve tried. English, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Thai, whatever — just paste and go. No account, no ads, no nonsense.
