Resource Console - Segmentation rules

When memoQ imports a document, it splits the document into segments. Normally, a segment is more or less the same as a sentence. But you can use completely different segments, too. A segmentation rule set tells memoQ how to split a document into segments.

A segmentation rule set works for one source language. For each potential source language, memoQ needs separate segmentation rules. There is one default segmentation rule set for each supported source language.

How to get here

  1. At the very top of the memoQ window - in the Quick Access toolbar  -, click the Resource console (ring binder) icon. The Resource console window opens, with the Translation memories pane.
  2. Under Resource, click Segmentation rules. The Segmentation rules pane appears.

What can you do?

When you finish

To work with another type of resource: Under Resource, choose another category.

To return to your work: Switch to the memoQ main window. Press and hold down Alt, and press Tab, until you get to the memoQ main window. Or, on the Windows taskbar, click the memoQ icon, then click the memoQ main window. The Resource Console stays open.

Or, you can close the Resource Console: Click Close.

If you opened a translation memory, a term base, or a LiveDocs document for editing: Switch to the memoQ main window (or close the Resource console), and then go to the editor tab.
