[Corpora-List] please introduce some easy to use and well-known sentence aligner tools

[Gilda Tataei]

Dear Saeed,
 
You can use YouAlign, a web-based aligner available at:
 
http://www.youalign.com/
 
I got satisfactory results using this aligner for my project; aligning English-Persian segments in the legal domain. It supports data in almost every format (*.ppt, *.pdf, *.doc, etc.) and does not limit you to *.txt only. Then, depending on your data's features and the nature of the work maybe you can try different formats and find the most appropriate one for your input data.
 
The project I am doing involves building an English-Persian parallel corpus and should be available in June; you may be able to find some further details in it with regards to your research which you might find useful. 
 
Regards,
G.Tataei

Dear Saeed,

You could try hunalign:
http://mokk.bme.hu/resources/hunalign/

Despite the name, it's not limited to Hungarian.

It is a command-line tool and probably not what you have in mind when
you say "easy to use" but its perfectly usable once you have read the
documentation.

If you want something with a GUI you will probably need to look into
commercial options such as Trados.

Hope this helps.
