In the very rare cases (I can only remember one) where it wasn't possible to know the number of words to be translated and I decided to accept the project despite this, I agreed with the client that the count would be made at the end based on the translation. This type of project implies a certain degree of trust between the two parties. I would never do that with a new client.
