WinAlign

WinAlign allows you to leverage your investment in previously translated materials by enabling you to build a new translation memory from legacy materials. With WinAlign, you can automatically and accurately "align" your previously translated files with their equivalent source files. The aligned text can be imported into the translation memory and used for future translations with SDL Trados Translator's Workbench.

SDL Trados WinAlign allows you to review the automated matching between previous translations and their source text prior to import into your TM.
