Hi,
I searched a lot about details of alignment function in 2017. But could not see any way to split & merge segments both for source and target side in the alignment view in studio 2017 as if we work on a sdlxliff file in editor? I think it will add a lot for the speed and simplicity of the view.. :))
Moreover I saw in forums dated back to 2014, it was told to be done for the future versions, but still there is no option for it??
Thank you!
Hello 111_17,
You can do it, easiest in alignment edit mode. So if you select four segments like this:
Then click on the n:n icon and you'll get this:
When this is updated into your TM you'll have one TU like this:
You can also copy, cut and paste. So splitting is achieved by just editing the text as you see fit. There is no split function.

I will try, though I find it difficult to do without posting a picture. :) What I mean, in this wonderfult answer from Paul Filkin he posted a picture where we can see that each segment has a checkbox, so you can select segments for merging. In my case, in the default view I dont see those ckeckboxes. If I click to "Alignment edit mode", then these ckeckboxes appear, but they are grey, and I cannot select them.
Anyway, I see that I could solve my alignment problems in 2 ways: 1) "merge manaually": cut and paste text from source segments, 2) review carefully the source and target files before importing them for Trados alignment.
