Ok, checked!

I have done it, and it did the segmenting for the source seemingly
pretty well, but it didn't really understand the translation, maybe
it is confused because I used org headings for the chapters and pages,
so the translation does not correspond 1:1 to the source?

For today I don't have more time, I'll see tomorrow if I can remove
headings and see if it works better.

It didn't error; it just said 0% done :-).

Thanks for the help, I was able to move around as you described and it
worked moslty as you advertise, seems like. If I did it from the start I
guess the tool would work much better for me :-).
