How to prevent segmentation after number followed by dot in German?

Question

In German we have that quite often: 
 A number followed by a dot in the middle of a sentence. Like "Ich war in der 3. Reihe" Studio will typically segment after such number. I need to prevent that without having to add all the ordinal followers...

I'm sure it's not!! 
 Just go the segmentation rules and add an exception like this:

Well I think it's a very common scenario where people number incorrectly, probably more common and also heavily used in the file. So they manually create numbered headings for example. In these scenarios I think it's probably considered better to handle these numbers separately and keep the TM clean for better leverage. 
 
Probably good arguments for both!

Yes, I agree with you completely here Jerzy. The language resource template is useful, but not helpful when you just want to change things in existing TMs. I think having the language resources as a mobile resource that could be applied to any TM would be the ideal scenario. One for development though as this would be a big change I think.

 Hi Marcus, 
 After adding your new segmentation rule, did you add the files again to your project? Remember that segmentation rules are not applied to already prepared (converted) files.
