Post title: Alignment option
Hi Artem,
It sounds like the documents you are trying to align are rather long; however, if you have documents that are less than ~500 segments you might want to try TM-Town's alignment tool. Here is a video, you can see the GUI tool in action starting around 0:50.
It allows you to drag and drop segments, merge, split, delete, or edit the text of a segment and the vertical height of the boxes will resize after a change so that the source segment you are looking at on the left will be directly across from the target segment it will be aligned with on the right.
The GUI tool is limited to documents with less than 500 segments as it relies heavily on the performance of your browser (and thus your computer's CPU) to do calculations such as the resizing after a change. Therefore if your documents are large this would not be an option.
