Reusing existing translations
Do you already have translations and want to tackle a similar project? Then definitely use the existing material and recycle your old translation!
During alignment, we use existing translations – that is, documents in the source and target languages – and generate a translation memory (TM) with their help. This is essential for translators and companies that plan to work with a translation memory system in the future and want to use older translations as a basis for it.
We are happy to help you make your international business and processes efficient and secure with high-quality translations. May we assist you? Then request a free, no-obligation quote now.

Simply contact us, and we will schedule a consultation to discuss your project and how we can help bring your vision to life.
Alignment is the process of matching existing source and translated documents to create a structured translation memory that can be reused in future projects.
Alignment helps reduce translation costs, speeds up project turnaround times, improves consistency and minimizes errors in future translations.
Alignment is especially useful if you already have previous translations and plan to reuse or update similar content in future projects.
GFT follows a three-step process: segmenting source and target texts, matching translation units across languages, and manually reviewing the results to ensure accuracy.
A translation memory is a database that stores previously translated segments, allowing translators to reuse consistent terminology and phrases across projects.
In most cases, yes. Alignment is particularly valuable for companies with recurring content, as it improves efficiency, consistency and long-term cost savings.
