Hello,
We use Trados 2017 and have a big review project. There are many sentences in one translation unit. Is it possible to change a rule or something, otherwise it is hard to do the concordance search.
Thank you for your help!

Thank you Aug 2, 2019

Thank you for your link. It is a review project and we got a package from the client. Can we change the rules of the segments under these circumstances?

Not sure Aug 2, 2019

I am not really sure, because a project is first created with its specific segmentation rules. You could ask your client why the file was created this way, and whether they can re-arrange it themselves, but I guess this would be too much of a hassle.

I hope someone more knowledgeable will try to give a hand.

This is one of the reasons I don't like to work in Studio Aug 3, 2019

This is happening time and again with Studio jobs I find, and this is one important reason I prefer to work in Dejavu. It will split segments with multiple sentences into multiple parts, making it much easier to work with it.

Of course, as any changes done outside Studio are not marked when the project file again is opened in Studio, this is not really a satisfying solution in your case. I would think the best would be to show the client the problem and ask them to resegment the project so that it becomes nicer to work with. Explain that mamoth segments make it harder to notice mistakes and correct them.

Doesn't this only work if you get the source file and do the import yourself? If you receive a Studio package, the file is already segmented. Can you still resegment the project without a new import of the source file?

I would be very interested if it actually is possible to resegment a Studio project file, since I have similar problems as the thread starter, but for translation, not necessarily review jobs.
