Segmentation Rules eXchange, often referred to as SRX, is common XML-standard for defining how text is segmented during translation or additional types of language related tasks. The standard was created to enhance current TMX standards because tools segment text differently and is used to ensure that translation memory data is exchanged more effectively between applications.
SRX rules applied during translation memory creation provide more leverage for deploying the translation memory data. They are used when text segments must be joined or split in a specific way. For more information see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segmentation_Rules_eXchange
Every language uses a default setting for Segmentation Rules during translation to ensure proper handling of text segments. Unless otherwise specified, these rules will be used when the Enable SRX Rules for Text Segmentation option has been enabled within a File Format Configuration for the appropriate language.
