Alignment Segmentation from Excel

I have an excel file with a Russian Column and an English column. 1-to-1 correspondence between the columns.

I save an excel file with just the English column, then another with just the Russian column, and align them.

Even choosing paragraph segmentation, I can't get it to simply segment by cells. Shouldn't that work?

The point is to save it in a TM, then load the Russian so it spews out the right English so I can then edit it there.

  • Just to add note regarding the original problem with weird segmentation - the reason is most probably
    - different segmentation rules for Russian and English (just create new empty TM with Russian and English and see the segmentation rules for each language yourself)
    - bugs in alignment editor (I do a lot of alignments recently) and I see the editor behaving very unpredictable at times, breaking segments at weird and unexpected segments, etc.)
    Also, if the cells happen to contain embedded linebreaks (AKA soft linebreaks, AKA linefeed characters), the segmentation may get influenced/confused by it.
