Dear Colleagues,

Can I unite/merge segments in source text? If yes, how can I do that?

Thank you!

Advice Jul 6, 2023

Whenever you open a Trados package or create a new project in Trados, you should click on "merge source segments" on the first screen before translating. If this is not possible (greyed out), you cannot merge the segments. Best wishes!

The previous comment ("Shift" instead "Ctrl" for selecting desired segments) is absolutely helpful. Thank you!
