Splitting segments

If the initial segmentation of an asset contains source segments that are too long (perhaps as a result of improper formatting in the source text) and that should be split, you can correct the segmentation and split the segments.

Procedure

  1. Open the appropriate asset in SDL Online Editor.
  2. Click the target area of the segment that you want to split.
  3. On the Home tab, in the Segments group, click Segment Actions > Edit Source.
  4. In the source segment, click where you want to split the segment.
  5. Click Segment Actions > Split Segment.

Results

The segment is split. If the segment already had a translation, that translation is now placed in the first split segment.
