Auto Split/ Merge

This chapter describes how to use the auto split/merge feature in WorldServer.

The auto-split/merge feature provides the ability to automatically break and combine neighboring segments within an asset to improve overall asset leverage against the applied TM. The need for this feature results from segmentation differences between the asset segments and the segments used to generate the TM entries. Segmentation differences can result for a number of reasons, including users manually splitting or merging segments during the translation process; changes in the filter configuration; importing matches from another TM (third-party or not) whose entries were created under different segmentation rules; and the attempt to leverage translated content across different document types that use different filters.
