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 quick-access-default -, click the Resource console (ring binder) icon-resconsole icon. The Resource console window opens, with the Translation memories pane.

2.Under Resource, click Segmentation rules. The Segmentation rules pane appears.
