Hi all,
I have several large documents and as the title says I need to make sure the segment after a colon (:) starts with a lower case letter.
Like this:
[segment 1] Note:
[segment 2] tomatoes are green.
Is there a way to just select the segments that follow the colon? Regex?
Different segmentation is not an option (because of the way the TM is structured).
Thank you very much in advance.

I assume the heart of the issue is the format is incorrect in the source file?
What is the native source file?
So what you have in source is:
Note: Tomatoes are green.
But what you need is:
Note: tomatoes are green.
I wonder if its easier to address this in native source document before bringing into Studio.
Paul does something come to mind for this?
If that is not, then yes I agree with Jesús Prieto we could think about creating an app that does a verification based on context or check the Xliff itself.

I think your example is not quite the same as the one mentioned. I think it's more like this:
So what you have in source is:
#1 Note:
#2 Tomatoes are green.
But what you need is:
#1 Note:
#2 tomatoes are green.
Segmentation cannot be changed for this users issue so he's looking for a solution to be able to find these segments by searching with a multi-segment condition. So find this:
\w+:
But only when the following segment is equal to this:
^\p{Lu}
I wonder if its easier to address this in native source document before bringing into Studio.
It may already be correct in the source document. The problem is the translated target.. probably because of autocorrect or just a translators natural inclination to start a sentence with a capital letter.
