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.
What are Segmentation Rules?
Segmentation rules are used by the system to determine how extracted text will be split into segments and paragraphs. A default set of segmentation rules is defined and enabled in the system for each available language.
When text is extracted, the system will perform the extraction based on these rules if "Enable SRX Rules for Text Segmentation" has been enabled for the File Format Configuration used for the translation.
SRX Rule Settings
Within the Wordbee Administration settings, you have the option to enable/disable a set of SRX rules, download them for viewing, and to make changes when necessary.
To access the current listing of SRX Rule (Text Segmentation) configurations in Wordbee Translator, click on Settings in toolbar. Then scroll down to the Translation Settings section and click on Configure to the right of Segmentation Rules.
The following pages will help you understand where SRX Rule (i.e. segmentation rule) configurations can be found within Wordbee Translator and how to view, modify, and create custom configurations:
