I have a free alignment program for Windows now, but it's out of commission (it needs a simple fix to work with Felix; I plan to patch it up within a week). The alignment tool will eventually work with TMX memories (my analysis program, <a href="http://ginstrom.com/AnalyzeAssist/">Analyze Assist</a>, already does), and is free, so I'm thinking that it can be used by other CAT software that doesn't have alignment capabilities. That said, alignment really is a hard problem and not really worth it in my opinion. Back in my computational linguistics days, many a paper was written on automatic alignment, but not too much progress was made... Thanks for the link, Jean-Christophe!

It is a fullfledged TM tool and it also does alignment. I used to work with Heartsome's TMXEditor but gave up because the process was not smooth enough. AppleTrans is very simple to use and the process is very smooth. I have a summary of the process here if you want to take a look: http://mac4translators.blogspot.com/2008/04/text-alignment-on-mac.html Cheers, Jean-Christophe Ryan,
