Studio 2022 - Segmentation Issue with XLF File

Question

Hi,

When I process the xlf file with Studio, the segments including <g...> </g> tag are displayed as paragraph segmentation although there are full stops and question marks inside the segment, which should normally serve as segment end. Is there a way in the file type settings to make sure that the segments end with a full stop even if there is this <g> tag in between?

"Probability score": 0.7 "Question improvement suggestion": Please provide more information about the exact version of Trados Studio you are using, the operating system, and any error messages you might have encountered. Also, it would be helpful if you could share the steps you have already taken to resolve this issue. In the meantime, based on the information you have provided, here is a suggested answer to your question: Hello, From your description, it seems like you're having an issue with the segmentation of XLF files in Trados Studio. This could be due to the presence of certain tags within the segments. Here's a possible solution: Step 1: Open the XLF file in a text editor like Notepad++. Step 2: Look for the elements. If these elements contain segmentation info ( element) or a translation ( element), this could be causing the issue. Step 3: If a element exists and is not empty, delete it. You can use a regular expression to identify these elements and replace them with nothing. Step 4: Save the changes and then try processing the file again in Trados Studio. Please note that this process will remove any existing translations in the XLF file, so make sure to back up your work before proceeding. If the issue persists, you might need to adjust the segmentation rules in Trados Studio. You can do this by going to Tools > Options > Language Pairs > All Language Pairs > Segmentation. Here, you can modify the rules to ensure that segments end with a full stop, even if there are tags in between. I hope this answer addressed your question.
