Check Short Segments

ProTeam

Use short-segment checks to highlight source segments that may not provide enough context for a reliable quality assessment.

Steps

  1. Open New check.
  2. In advanced checks, enable Short segments.
  3. Set the maximum number of source words. The default is 3; the minimum is 1.

Results

A segment is flagged when its source contains the selected number of words or fewer. The Excel report includes a Short Segment Issue column, and annotated XLIFF comments include the source word count and selected limit.

Short segments may lack sufficient context for a reliable quality assessment.
