I have a sentence starting with a tag (representing a screen name) which is hidden by the default "All segments" filter. In Italian, I need to start the sentence with the word "Schermata" followed by the tag. I wonder if it is ok to simply use the "All content" filter and add the initial word before the tag outside the segment.

In the figure, you can see the segment 413 preceded by the non-segment content. I am also retaining the space before the word "Schermata".

Will this work? (I cannot check because it is a sdlxliff file.)

It will probably work... Sep 8, 2017

but it actually depends on the segmentation. Your screenshot is missing a vital piece of information, the "Document Structure Information" column shown to the right, which can shed some light as to the actual structure of the original file, and therefore to the segmentation done by Trados. Is the lone tag within a table row (TR) a table column (TD) or a paragraph? (P)? In any of these cases, you shouldn't have any issues.

Yes, P - thanks Sep 8, 2017

Luckily both 412 and 413 are paragraphs. Thank you.
