In the Jobs management dashboard you can create and assign jobs to your suppliers. You can check the word count at any time via the work progress summary report.
The job work progress report can also be accessed from the Translation Editor.
Note that the translation progress summary report in the Editor shows the number of segments that have been translated and not the number of words. To view the word count, open the Full statistics report and then check the box Show word counts in brackets.
