If you’re careful with your segmentation rules, it shouldn’t happen to you. Very rarely rules may not work as expected because something that should be split according to one rule that you added, is merged by another rule somewhere down the chain, or vice versa. It simply won’t work, paragraph break in the source file always results in a new segment in OmegaT, no matter what. One of them is merging two segments from different paragraphs.
There are a few limitations where no rules could help. In many cases typing or pasting the exact/verbatim part of the text you want to split or merge does the trick, but some characters have special meanings in RegEx, so you may not get the results you expect. The ticked Break/exception box means the split right where the text described in Pattern before ends, and the text described in Pattern after begins no tick means those two described chunks will be fused together.īoth types of rules use regular expressions. These refer to the place in the text where the split or the merge is supposed to happen. Both rules have Pattern before and Pattern after parts. There are two types of rules: rules to split segments into two parts, and rules to merge two separate parts into one segment.
Rules in groups can be added, removed, edited, and rearranged. These groups (and the rules within them) can be moved up and down to change the order. It’s possible to add your own group, give it any name and language code. If the language of the group doesn’t match, that whole group is going to be skipped.

Rules in this local or global collection are organized by language (remember that the source text is going to be segmented, so the language code of a group has to match the project’s source lanuage), and then rules are applied in sequence: each group’s language code will be checked, and if matches, then each rule in that group is going to be applied in sequence. If local segmentation rules are enabled, editing the rules is done through Project → Properties… → Local Segmentation Rules…, otherwise - through Options → Global Segmentation Rules…
