.WordCount not accurate for Japanese pages #1266

Description

@RickCogley

Hello - when I look at .WordCount results against an English page and a Japanese page, the count is correct for English of course, but incorrect for Japanese, returning a very small number.

I assume it is counting words using spaces as the delimiter, but Japanese and other CJK languages are inherently space-less. This also causes trouble for search engines, as an aside.

I am wondering if .WordCount could detect the language, and count characters for CJK language, instead of returning an incorrect number.

Best regards,
Rick
