Splitting segments

You can split a segment into two segments in the Editor window, of the Editor view, when the automatic segmentation rules do not perform an accurate, linguistic parsing of your text.

About this task

Segmentation rules are based on a set of fixed rules which do not always segment in a way that makes sense. Therefore, it may be necessary to merge or split a segment to correct the segmentation.

Procedure

  1. Go to the Projects view and select the project you want to work on.
  2. Go to the Files view and double-click the file you want to work on.
  3. In the Editor window, place your cursor in the location where you want to split the segment in the source segment column.
  4. Right-click and, on the context menu, select Split Segments. If the segment has a translation, the entire content of the translation is placed in the first target segment.
