Please describe your requested enhancement. Good feature requests will solve common problems or enable new use cases.

What you would like to accomplish: At the moment, Cloud Translation API V3 is capable of translating a document file, however there is not a possibility to obtain the word count and the page count for a file that has been translated.

How this might work: Users should be able to use the Cloud Translation API v3 for translating a document file and if the text is written in a language that contains words with a large number of characters, then the file translated will have a different number of characters, reducing either the word count or the page count, therefore users should be able to observe the changes in the total word count and page count parameters.


If applicable, reasons why alternative solutions are not sufficient:
Currently there are no alternative ways to implement this behavior in the Cloud Translation API. We can use third party code implementations to obtain the word count of a file, however when we are using the Cloud Translation API, we would like to have the possibility of implementing these parameters for the file that will be translated.

Other information (workarounds you have tried, documentation consulted, etc):
A user has tried to implement the word_count parameter, however after the document would be translated, the word_count parameter did not present any value.
I have checked the Google Cloud documentation and currently there is not a possibility of obtaining the word count and page count of a document, however the only possible way to see the total word count is to check upon the link [1] where it shows that in order to see the word count, a user could check the Cloud Translation API in the GCP project.
