Could you pleas:

- state the segmentation rule you applied

- post a screen capture of the unwanted result

- state file extension of the source file

- insert part of your source file

that would be great.

Schema ST4 file (XML)

All I really want to do is render the br tag external so that Studio creates a segment after the br/

We use a lot of tables and the various sentences are typically separated with the br tag.

Is that enough info?

Thanks

Close!

Could you please copy and paste the text regarding your screenshot?

I want to add a soft break to the segmentation rules. The break tag in 2007 is <br/>.

Segment 1 and 2 belong together and 3-9 are a segment. Now were split up after I added the br/ tag.

Why there? Adapt this in the tag settings in SchemaST4 file type. This will be much easier.

And how???

Should be very simple:

Open the settings in your project template, go to file types, select Schema ST4, chose parser rules:

Now change tag type to "structure" or go to advanced and select "exclude" for the segmentation hint. I am not sure, which one will work better. I suppose changing to structure will work always. This is good, if you use br between sentences and not mid-sentence.

Hi Jerzy,

 It appears the segmentation hint is disabled....

Do I change it to not translatable?

Non-translatable or translatable does not matter here, it is a placeholder. And if the tag is structure, the segmentation hint does not apply—in this case the tag is simply always excluded from trext.

Is it possible I messed it up because I had already changed the br tag to structured for Schema ST4 and then tried to do the same thing in the translation memory settings?

Without seeing the files I cannot tell. But I don't thnik you can add br-tag to TM settings, as the settings interpret the unprotected text, while the tag is protected anyway.

Hi Jerzy, thanks...I think I overthought this one...I had already changed the tag to "structured". Thanks. I can have segments with 20 soft breaks and one word each and it is a real pain to translate like that.

I understand—same here. If you wish to have it tested, drop me an e-mail off forum at info @ czopik dot com
