Aligning files without review

Trados Studio Alignment tool uses a matching algorithm that can align most files correctly. If you align without review, you can still make small edits to the translation units (TUs) resulting from the alignment when Trados Studio finishes the alignment and displays the resulting TU in the Translation Memory view.

About this task

Align files without subsequent review in the Alignment view when:

  • The target file is the exact translation of the source file and there is no extra or missing text in one of the two files.
  • You want to quickly align a set of files just for generating translation matches for your current project.
  • You want to quickly align a big number of files just to generate bulk content for a TM.
