Character count and Monospaced font

[Dianakc]

Beside contexts, I think characteres count and monospaced font can help translation process.

Sure, sometimes there's no way to fit a string in some languages, but that can help us figure out how long should be.

Given that GlotPress is potentially "themeable", I'm not sure of the wisdom of forcing monospaced fonts for every situation. Character count, on the other hand, does make sense to me. Maybe in the "Meta" section of the string?

Tentative character count patch. Please test.

Is it possible that some translators might see a count of characters and find this to be a limit?

Also, it may not be accurate, due to HTML and sprintf placeholders, though that is also not much of a concern.

I like the idea of a character count. I can see the issue Nacin mentioned. The HTML and sprinf placeholder isn't a concern at all. This because you would use the original character count to the translate text. By doing that something like showing the string length difference would probably be more meaningful.
