Yes, you're right: I've just tried with fr_FR.iso885915 and it works.

Thanks for the hint. As a workaround I use already a regular expression to
get the words, but str_word_count() is still better than my solution:
str_word_count() detects constructs like "it's" and "week-end" etc.

Is multi-byte support planned for str_word_count() ?

Cheers, Peter
