Does trados studio have winalign pdf#
The new tool was based on the premis that most of the time aligning files is a waste of your time! Many users find themselves being provided with a bunch of files, maybe even hundreds, with matching translations where to make matters worse one is often a PDF while the other is a DOC file so the alignment effort, and the value of the resultant Translation Memory is out of proportion. It wasn’t until SDL released Studio 2014 in the third quarter of 2013 that a new alignment tool was released. WinAlign has been around since I don’t know when, but it no longer supports the modern file formats that are supported in Studio so it has been overdue for an update for a long time. When Studio 2009 was first launched one of the first things that many users asked for was a replacement alignment tool for WinAlign.
But I thought it would be useful to step back a bit because I don’t think it’s that bad! As with all software releases, the features around this tool will be continually enhanced and I expect to see more improvements later this year. The new alignment tool in Studio SP1 has certainly attracted a lot of attention, some good, some not so good… and some where learning a few little tricks might go a long way towards improving the experience of working with it.
But there may still be some value in this one so I’m leaving it here for posterity! Note to the wise: This article is quite some years old now and the alignment tool has improved a lot with many more useful capabilities since Trados Studio 2021.
