The specific case you mention here interests me, as I have a current project question involving TYPO3 exports. Would you mind dropping me a private mail? Perhaps you may know the information I seek.<br /><br />Oh yes... also wanted to say that I hope you reported this trouble to Kilgray Support. That is very important. I hear a lot of problems with various memoQ modules from colleagues, but in most cases nothing has been said to the team that makes the software. It's unreasonable to expect improvement if you haven't done your part to inform them of the problem. If enough people raise an important point it will probably get attention sooner. Like any sensible provider, Kilgray makes many of its development decisions based on the perception of how many people actually want the solution.Kevin Lossnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14727800526216764023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20155610.post-9185118532546580702012-06-18T15:46:13.628+01:002012-06-18T15:46:13.628+01:00I wish it were that simple.

And no matter what I try (I went through the motions you described, double-checking that the languages are correct – German AND German (Germany) just to make sure although the project is set to German (Germany) – it still breaks at Prof. and at Dr. Not sure what I can do about this. I think part of the problem might be that I have to run cascading filters to prepare the source texts (TYPO3 xml filter, then HTML, then Regex tagger), so maybe MemoQ just misses out the segmentation filter in the end. Just a hunch. I seem to remember that "ca." was also segmented last time and just now I saw it included in the default segmentation filter.<br /><br />Apart from that, I just wanted to say that I've been a regular reader of your blog posts (and pre-blog posts in ProZ), and it's given me plenty of great ideas throughout my freelance years. Plenty of great advice there and usually a highly enjoyable read.Andrewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20155610.post-17443715798175043892012-05-21T06:40:06.198+01:002012-05-21T06:40:06.198+01:00Thank you for this tip.
