Hi all! I'm trying to figure out how to avoid segment breaks after "Ste." as in a city name like "Sault Ste. Marie", so as to keep the city name together. Would anyone be so kind as to tell me what the RegEx would be for this? Thanks for any help!

You don't need a regex for this. Simply go to the settings of your translation memory, under 'Language Resources", 'Abbreviations' and add the string 'Ste.'. 
For French it is already present in the default settings, but not for English.
Hello Walter and thanks so much for your reply! Your solution seems to make perfect sense. However I gave it a try and it doesn't seem to work for me. I still get two segments for "Sault Ste. Marie". Not sure what else I could try.
Did you do this for the correct language? Should be the source language of your project. Also, I suggest that after having made the change to the TM settings, you remove the TM from your project settings and add it again to make sure it acknowledges the changes.
I removed the TM from my project and added it back and it worked! Thanks a bunch, Walter. Would have never thought of that. Have a fantastic weekend!
