You can use the free Wordfast Online Aligner (aka Wordfast File Aligner or Wordfast Autoaligner) for aligning source and target documents translated manually, without a translation tool, and creating a translation memory.
# Log into your [Wordfast Anywhere] account, at [http://www.freetm.com/ FreeTM.com], or register for a free new account if you do not already have one.
# Under the ''File'' tab, click on the ''Align'' icon.
# This opens a new page for the Wordfast File Aligner.
# Click on the ''Add files'' button, and locate the source and target documents, or drag and drop your files directly into the Filename box.
# You have an option that you can check if the document is multilingual. Wordfast File Aligner automatically detects the languages in your documents.
# After adding your files, click the ''Start upload'' button.
# Wordfast File Aligner processes the uploaded documents and auto-detects the languages.
# You can change directions of the alignment (source vs target) by clicking the "Swap Languages" button.
# Choose whether you want to download the TM now and/or receive it by email. You can also include formatting tags in the aligned segments.
# Click on the ''Align!'' button.
# Check your email inbox or wait for the alignment to finish, then save it to your computer. The alignment process creates a zip file containing the generated TM.
# The zip file includes an Excel (*.xls) file which you can edit and upload to the TM Converter (under the Wordfast AutoAligner ''Tools'' tab > "Convert XLS/XLSX to Wordfast TM") to regenerate a TM after you have manually edited the initial, automated alignment.
# It includes also a TM in the TMX format.
The TXT file is the Wordfast TM, which you can use directly in [Wordfast Classic] and [Wordfast Pro 3]. For [Wordfast Pro 5], you can import either the TXT or TMX TM into an existing WFP5 TM or import and create a new one. You can also upload your aligned TM for use in [Wordfast Anywhere].
