What is aligning? Aligning involves pairing source file segments (untranslated) with target file segments (the source file translations). During the aligning process, the output XLSX file, containing segments pairs, is created. After small modifications (deleting the appropriate columns and rows in the file), the output file can be used as translation memory and be imported into XTM Cloud.

Aligning process To see a step-by-step aligning guideline, we recommend that you read the following article: How to align translated documents .
After the process is started, the analysis of the input files is performed to create XLF files in the back-end that are used for alignment.
Once the alignment has been performed, the output files are created which are downloadable in the XTM Cloud UI:
IMPORTANT!
Keep in mind that not all language combinations that can be selected from the Source language and Target language dropdowns will work in this case.
See a complete list of languages which are supported by the Align feature, below. If needed, the languages within each combination can be inverted.
