What is Segment?

The unit of translation — usually a sentence — into which content is split for translation and storage.

In more depth

Sentence-level segmentation maximizes reuse: edit one sentence, re-translate one sentence.

Why it matters for your website

Understanding Segment helps you make better decisions when taking a WordPress site multilingual — from choosing URL structures and engines to controlling costs. Transxlate handles the mechanics (language URLs, lang attributes, caching, hreflang on Pro) so terms like this become settings, not engineering projects.
