Sentence segmenter controls in Elementor
Text and language sets the starting text, the language tag, whether visitors can change it and whether abbreviations are kept together. Behaviour sets the long sentence limit, word counts, numbering and live updates. Labels sets the heading and every label and button. The Style tab covers the layout, box height, sentence list, fields and buttons.
03 / Website use cases
Where to use sentence segmenter
Splitting text at every full stop goes wrong quickly: Mr. Smith becomes two sentences, prices and dates break apart, and Japanese or Chinese text has no spaces at all. Sentence segmenter uses the browser’s language-aware sentence rules, keeps common abbreviations, initials and ordinal dates together, and lists each sentence with its word count so writers can find the ones that run too long.
Preparing text
Turn a paragraph into one sentence per line for translation or subtitles.
Language teaching
Show how sentences are split in different languages.

08 / Common setup problems
Troubleshoot sentence segmenter
Check these settings if the published page behaves differently from the editor.
Why is a sentence split after an abbreviation?
Only common abbreviations are recognised. Turn on Keep abbreviations together, or set the language so dates such as 3. Mai are read correctly.
Why does the language field show a warning?
The text is not a language tag. Use a tag such as en, en-GB, de or ja; the browser’s language is used until it is fixed.
Why do word counts differ between languages?
Words are counted with the browser’s rules for the language, which split Japanese and Chinese text into words without spaces.
Sentence segmenter plugin questions
Does it need Elementor Pro?
No. It works with the free version of Elementor.
Is anything sent to a server?
No. Everything runs in the visitor’s browser.
Which languages does it support?
Any language the visitor’s browser supports. Leave the language empty to use the browser’s own language.
Can I change the long sentence limit?
Yes. Set any number of words up to 200, or 0 to turn the mark off.
Can visitors copy the sentences?
Yes. Copy puts the sentences on the clipboard, one per line.
