    No, it never was before. Words count is completely invalid meter, as
if just one dot was missing and that fails a check on string, it will not
show 1 word but (may be) 20. And also what translation is more complete
below?

==========================
#: t.c:1
#,fuzzy
msgid "Mama"
msgstr "Papa"

#: t.c:2
#,fuzzy
msgid "Papa"
msgstr "Caca"

#: t.c:3
msgid "Love"
msgstr ""

#: t.c:4
msgid "Choose right person from the list:"
msgstr "Оберіть потрібну персону:"
==========================

==========================
#: t.c:1
msgid "Mama"
msgstr "Мама"

#: t.c:2
msgid "Papa"
msgstr "Папа"

#: t.c:3
msgid "Love"
msgstr "Кохання"

#: t.c:4
msgid "Choose right person from the list:"
msgstr ""
==========================

    Counting by strings shows first is 1/4 complete and second is 3/4
complete. Counting by words shows first is 6/9 complete and second is 3/9
complete. I wouldn't consider counting by words correct in this example
as second is better translated for people, they can suggest context but
not short choices.
