No matter what I'd do, I don't get "Merge Segments" to work. In the picture below, you can see I already check and uncheck all boxes as recommended in order for this feature to work. However, it DOES NOT work. What am I missing? Needless to say, I have created and recreated projects with this feature to no avail. Any advice? Thanks.

Hi Roberto Crivello,
If, instead of using 'Ctrl+Alt+S', you right-click on one of the number cells you have selected (without clicking anywhere else first), a dropdown menu will appear.
If in that menu, the entry 'Merge segments' is greyed out (as in the image in the original post) then there is some reason why it is not possible to merge the segments. If they are both highlighted correctly as described above by Paul, then there must be something in the original document formatting that makes merging impossible, such as a page break for example.
There could also be an element in the original document that has not been included in the sdlxliff because it is not recognised, an unusual icon or image format for example. You may find the reason if you check the context of the texts you are trying to merge in the original document.
It is also possible that an element of the original document has been marked as untranslatable by the conversion process to sdlxliff, according the filetype settings - this happens for example in html/xml-based work with embedded content that must not be changed and there are various reasons why this should be so.
I know I haven't given you a solution here, just wanted you to know that sometimes content cannot be merged because of the way the original source document is compiled.
All the best,
Alison :)
Hi Roberto Crivello,
Yaaay! I'm really pleased that this sorted your problem out :)
All the best,
Ali :))
PS: When you right-click and Merge Segment is not greyed out, what appears after that as the shortcut on the dropdown menu? Ctrl+Alt+S appears on mine, as in the image in the original post. Pressing these 3 keys together also works to merge segments for me. Maybe this shortcut has somehow been 'turned off' in your setup.
If you want to reset it you may be able to do so via File > Options > Keyboard shortcuts
If not, maybe running a Windows repair on Studio will sort it out, as follows:
