To modify your segmentation rules in Trados Studio, first open your translation memory. Then in the Translation Memories View:

1. Select your translation memory and go to File > Settings.
2. In the Translation Memory Settings window, select Language Resources.
3. In the right pane, select Segmentation Rules and click on the Edit button:
   
4. In the Segmentation Rules window, select the option Sentence based segmentation and click Add:
   
5. In the Add Segmentation Rule window, click on the Advanced View button:
   
6. Give your rule a name, for example SoftLineBreak and add:

• Before break: .[\n]+
• After break: .
  

      7. Click OK to save your rule and close the Translation Memory Settings window.

When you re-open your document again with the modified translation memory, you will now see the cell distributed over three lines, taking the soft line breaks as a segment delimiter.

This behaviour is by design. Soft line breaks are meant for formatting purposes rather than segment delimiters. However, you can always modify the segmentation rules in Trados Studio to add the soft line break as a segment delimiter.
