One off changing Segmentation rules

For a client I need to make a quotation for a huge Excel sheets, that contains a colomn with  thousands and thousands of terms, separated by comma's (even many oper cell). These thousands of terms are repeting themselves endlesslee. 

In order to get a sharp quotation, we want to make a calculation based on these repetitions, trying to establish 100% matches. 

For this particular reason we want to change the segmentation rules in such a way, that if in a Excel cell a comma is found, a new segment will be made.

Can anybody explain to me how I can do this?

Kind regards,

Pieter Cramer

  Hi Pieter,

  Basically, you need to customize the segmentation rules.

  Download the language-specific rules for from Wordbee Translator (Settings > Segmentation). Edit the rules and upload with a new name. Then when marking a file for online translation make sure to choose your new rule.

  A rule that breaks at word boundaries (regex = \b) might look like the following.

  Note that this was not tested and is just an idea to get started.

  <rule break="yes">
  <beforebreak>.+</beforebreak>
  <afterbreak>\b</afterbreak>
  </rule>

  The SRX specification is at:

  A summary of steps to create your own rules:

  Hope this helps,

  Stephan
