Generally, you do not need to review the results of the automatic alignment in the Alignment view. This is because, the SDL Alignment tool uses a matching algorithm that can align correctly most documents. If you align without review, you can still make small edits to the translation units (TUs) resulting from the alignment when Studio finishes the alignment and displays the resulting TU in the Translation Memory view.
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.
By default, Studio aligns all your files for further review by generating an *.sdlalign result file that you can then open in the Alignment view. However, when you are aligning multiple files, you may just want to generate TUs for your selected translation memory (TM).
To align files without subsequently reviewing the alignment result files:
On the Welcome
or the Translation Memories view,
click
Align Documents and choose
Align Multiple
File Pair from the drop-down menu. This displays the Align Documents wizard.
Select a TM for Alignment, disable the Save alignment results for later review option and click Next.
Click Finish to start the import then click Close to close the Align Documents wizard.
Studio imports the alignment results into
the specified TM and displays the TUs generating from the alignment
in the Translation
Memory view. If you want to make
edits to the translation units, click
Commit Changes to
update the TUs in the specified TM.
