What Does a File Alignment Do?




- If we take a Word file, for example, and we process is with a CAT (Computer Assisted Translation) tool, the text will be divided into segments, usually one for each sentence. File alignment identifies the segments of an original document with those of its translation. This process makes it possible to generate a translation memory that, upon applying it to the new material, will provide the previously mentioned benefits. Therefore, when you request your first free quote from our sales staff, remember to let them know if you have files that were already translated, which can be used to take advantage of the benefits of a file alignment.
