Basically this is the process of splitting a longer string into multiple parts. Examples for segmentation are paragraphs, sentences or words. I’ve implemented this functionality in form of an engine in the frameworks.

Currently there are two usages: First, the matching. While this piece of functionality used to have it’s own (admittedly quite limited) segmentation, it is now using the new one from the framework. This changed nothing when looking at the features, except that the code is now well-tested and more reliable.

The second usage is in Localizer. Splitting longer strings into shorter ones eases the localization process and also increases the probability of finding matching strings. Thus, Localizer now features a filter setting for segmentation by either sentences and paragraphs.

Segmentation in Localizer will be available in tomorrow’s nightly build.
