During the translation process you can add abbreviations on the fly to the segmentation rules for the source language of your project.
Whenever you encounter a segment that has been split too early, namely after an ‘unknown’ abbreviation (that is: an abbreviation that isn't present in the SRX file for your source language), you click Join one or several times, until the segmentation is correct:
Example:
Sie sind herzlich eingeladen! U.
Click Join:
Sie sind herzlich eingeladen! U.A.
Click Join once more:
Sie sind herzlich eingeladen! U.A.w.
Click Join again:
Sie sind herzlich eingeladen! U.A.w.g.
Now select the unknown abbreviation: ‘U.A.w.g.’ and from the Tools menu select Add abbreviation. A dialogue box is displayed:
Note that the full stops in the abbreviation are escaped by a slash.
When the abbreviation that you want to add contains one or more spaces, these spaces are replaced by ‘\s’:
PLEASE NOTE: The new segmentation will become active in the next new project. Perhaps you want to import the current project again, rather then repeatedly clicking the Join button?
