Hello,

My company is soon going to hire some in-house translators, but before we do that, we want to create a translation memory of a fairly large number of source and target files from work we've had done in the past.

I'm the IT guy, and I know what I'd like from an IT perspective, but I want expert advice from the pros here on what works well for translators. This kind of assignment is new to me.

Hello,

My company is soon going to hire some in-house translators, but before we do that, we want to create a translation memory of a fairly large number of source and target files from work we've had done in the past.

I'm the IT guy, and I know what I'd like from an IT perspective, but I want expert advice from the pros here on what works well for translators. This kind of assignment is new to me.

If I can get a robust open source program, and one that can be server-based, that would be ideal.

Recommendations and direct links to software repositories or vendor sites would be appreciated.

Alignment options Jun 20, 2012

That said, there are a variety of alignment options available to you. Most translation memory systems (SDL, Wordfast, memoQ, Atril) offer a form of alignment within their tool set. SDL Trados is called WinAlign and comes standard with new licenses.

There are also a few options that are independent of translation memory systems.
Terminotix AlignFactory is one - http://terminotix.com/index.asp?name=AlignFactory&content=item&brand=1&item=4&lang=en
KCSL - http://www.kcsl.ca/ is another one

There are also a few free alignment tools, but I am not sure if they offer as valuable a service.

Good luck with your project!
