Background of the issue:
I am a web designer and I would like to be able to create a CSV file with an estimate of the number of words that needs to be translated, so I can send it to the customer for approval. At the moment I create a screenshot (attached) with the Word count from the Translation Dashboard, but that sometimes needs multiple screenshots from multiple sections and that looks unprofessional.

I would like the report to have a list with the following columns, example attached:
- selected item
- item type (ie each page)
- the word count of the item

I want this to be in a CSV file, so I can use it in Excel to add a calculations of the expected costs for each language (depending on the translation engine or translation service).

Symptoms:
There is no direct feature in WPML to generate a CSV file with word count estimates for translation.

Questions:
How can I generate a CSV file with a list of selected items, item types, and word counts for translation estimates?
