Forum: CAT Tools Technical Help
Topic: Translation Alignment
Poster: Garry Black
Dear colleagues,
A general question: is there an efficient way to align and create TMs from a huge number of source-target Word file pairs (~4,000 files)?
Background for the above question: despite working in the field for over 20 years (in-house/private customer base), I rarely had to use CAT tools. Currently, I'm looking for a way to create TMs from thousands of projects I translated over the years.
I am not referring to a specific software, so looking for advice regarding any software and methods that would allow me to do it (if there are any). The only way I know is via Trados, which would take ages - unless there is some efficient method I'm not aware of.
