Comment (by jiehanzheng):

 In [attachment:8759.3.diff], I made the options "Count Latin by", "Count
 Latin spaces", "Count East Asia punctuation marks" separately-
 controllable, which gives more control to translators.  For example, the
 Chinese team could translate the control strings like this:
 {{{
 "Count Latin by" --> "words"
 "Count Latin spaces" --> "no"
 "Count East Asia punctuation marks" --> "yes"
 }}}

 And the Japanese team could set the strings like this:
 {{{
 "Count Latin by" --> "characters"
 "Count Latin spaces" --> "yes"
 "Count East Asia punctuation marks" --> "yes"
 }}}

 Known issue:
 * I am unable to match Unicode chars which have five hex digits, maybe due
 to JavaScript RegExp restrictions?  Does anyone have solutions?  Although
 those characters that have five hex digits are used '''very rarely''', and
 should only affect Chinese characters.

 Notes: The Unicode ranges for East Asia characters listed in
 settingsEastAsia.count are copied from http://www.unicode.org/charts/.
