@Garry Black
If/When you choose to start your trial period, could you please advise if you have the Alignment Editor in English or in French. Even when I select English in the Language settings, the major part of the UI is in English, but Alignment Editor still remains in French. I asked them if it was a limitation of the trial version, but they said no, it must be in English regarless of the trial version. Do you experience that either?
They haven't replied. I'll send them another email later today and will let you know about the Alignment Editor UI language once/if I get it.

However, if you are looking at a vast amount of data, a big issue is misalignment due to segmentation issues. When many segments are misaligned, the time spent fixing it may outweigh the benefit of having the alignment done. What I usually recommend is the Wordfast Aligner on wordfast.net (not DOT COM). It's actively developed and has smart features built-in to omit TUs that are potentially misaligned. I personally prefer less but more accurate TUs. It's free, you just copy-paste the text in the boxes on the website. Here's the link if you want to try it: https://www.wordfast.net/?go=align
Thank you for the info. However, I prefer not to do it online due to confidentiality reasons.

Could it be the case that they only sell it in Russia?.. Probably you can try their emails: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]

They haven't replied. That sounds odd to me. When I wrote them, they responded quickly by email as if it was a chat room. May I think this is because I'm that famous now?

I wrote them again and they replied quickly, guess there was some unclear issue with my previous email. I'm trying it right now. The Alignment Editor is in English, as well as as everything else in the software.
The first result I got is relatively good, most of the segments are aligned correctly, a few are unrelated. I'm aligning Hebrew (source) and English (target) pairs, so maybe HE causes it some confusions here and there, but overall, I must say that I'm impressed.

I see that it's also available here -

Ok, so first I thought it's just my mobile, but also from the computer, neither of those links work for me, and I end up with the regular OCR software.
I will try a proxy later, because now I really want it! 🤣
Thanks for the links anyway!

| Word macros for aligning | Aug 17, 2021 |
When I was looking for alignment tools a few months ago, I had whole book manuscripts that I wanted to place into TMs. Nothing that I looked at seemed to meet my needs, especially for Word files where I used a two-column table, with an original paragraph in the left column and its translated paragraph in the right column. If you have this situation, I've written a macro to break the paragraphs into segments and align them, with a few residual misalignments to be cleaned up when done.

If you have this situation, I've written a macro to break the paragraphs into segments and align them, with a few residual misalignments to be cleaned up when done.
I also wrote a version of the macro to align texts in separate files, however, it's nowhere nearly as polished as Align Factory (but it's free).
Please let me know if you think you can use one of these two macros. ▲ Collapse
