Segmenter

Certain file formats (such as HTML) require a Segmenter. This is an add-in that divides long strings into shorter segments (in general, separate sentences). If a segmenter is required, the suitable add-in is determined the first time the source string list is updated. If you have several segmenter add-ins or want to make sure the correct segmenter is selected prior to the first update, you can make your selection here.

SDL Passolo is supplied with an SRX segmenter (see The SRX Segmenter).

On the other hand, most software file formats do not require a segmenter - with these formats, no segmenter add-in is specified following an update. The selection of a segmenter add-in for these formats has no effect on the extracted strings.

If the segmenter offers additional settings options, you can call these up by clicking on Setup.
