Hello,

I have been translating a very large text and have now about one hundred pages ready. How can I use them in OmegaT 4.3.2 to be more consistent in phrases and words?

Thank you!

You need to create a TMX file and place the TMX file in the /tm/ folder of your project. To create the TMX file, you need to "align" the source text and translation with each other. There are many alignment programs available. OmegaT has a built-in alignment tool, but it is not very good unless your source and target texts are short and very similar. Another frequently recommended aligner is LF Aligner.

I recently used https://www.freetm.com/ and was impressed by the ease of use and quality of the alignment.
