"The FIRe-text (pronounced "fire text") extension was developed in an attempt to make the process of converting text in digital images into plain text somewhat simpler. The extension tries to accomplish that by focusing on one line of text at a time."
Replace Text, formerly called BK ReplaceEm, is the free string-replacing utility for Windows.
At its core, Replace Text is essentially a text search-and-replace program. However, unlike the search-replace functionality of a standard text editor, Replace Text is designed to operate on multiple files at once. And you need not only perform one search-replace operation per file; you can setup a list of operations to perform. If different groups of files need to have different operations performed on them, this is no problem either. You can also specify a backup file for each file processed, just in case the replace operation didn't do exactly what you wanted.
Across translation memory - a database that stores previously translated segments allowing reuse of previously translated text passages, but also serving as a basis for assisting authors in the consistent creation of source texts, and for assuring the quality of both the source text and the translations.
As a learning system, Across translation memory (TM) has to be filled initally either by importing existing translation memory data or by performing an "alignment" in which source and target text pairs are analyzed and matching sentences are added to the translation memory.
After that, the database grows with each new translation. New sentences within translation jobs are identified automatically and added to the translation memory either directly or after a quality check.
By saving every translated sentence in the database, new sentences that need to be translated can be compared with this database. The purpose is to reuse as many previously translated sentences as possible. This speeds up the actual translation, improves the consistency, and saves money.
Across translation memory assists with your translations
As a basis for automatic pre-translation of sentences that are 100% matches
As a basis for translators in case of partial matches
As a basis for concordance searches (i.e., when researching the context in which a word or an expression is used)
As a basis for translation-oriented authoring, in which the source text author selects wording variations for which a translation is already available.
"This little stand-alone search and replace utility is very handy if you need to make changes to a whole range of text, HTML, XML or other text-based files:"

hunalign aligns bilingual text on the sentence level. Its input is tokenized and sentence-segmented text in two languages. In the simplest case, its output is a sequence of bilingual sentence pairs (bisentences).
In the presence of a dictionary, hunalign uses it, combining this information with Gale-Church sentence-length information.
Like most sentence aligners, hunalign does not deal with changes of sentence order: it is unable to come up with crossing alignments, i.e., segments A and B in one language corresponding to segments B' A' in the other language.

Most commercial translation memory applications now include an aligner as part of a suite of tools. Aligners are used to produce translation memory files (e.g. in the industry-standard TMX format) from legacy translations and their corresponding source files. The resulting file can then be used within a translation memory application, which provides easy access to the source/target segment pairs in the translation memory file.
Although the advantage of aligning relevant legacy texts is obvious, a major drawback is that such tools generally align non-intelligently. Where the source and target texts have different numbers of segments (e.g. because at some point, the original translator merged two sentences to form a single sentence in the translation), the resulting translation memory file is misaligned. Aligners generally provide an interface through which such misalignments can be corrected manually. This can be a time-consuming process, however, and is usually worthwhile only when the legacy translation is known to be useful, such as when the original source text has been modified and a new translation of it is required.
You can generate concordances, and search for words or phrases. You can produce both KWIC and Line-Based concordances. The words used can be highlighted in context or contracted. Left and right context sorting can be achieved. The concordances can be printed or saved to files.
You can save concordances in html to display on the web.
You can create word lists, which you can sort , print, or save. Sorting can be done in ascending or descending alphabetic or frequency order.
You can specify words and phrases using a prefix, a suffix, specific words, or using a pattern. You can select a group of words from which to produce your concordances and word lists.
You can exclude words using a stoplist.
You can display statistics of letter and word-frequency usage.
You can define the method of reading text, the types of symbols used, together with their collating order and style of embedded text references.Many text files already exist in forms that SCP can handle. Several sample files are included in the SCP download.
ABBYY Aligner 2.0 is a professional tool for aligning parallel texts and creating Translation Memory databases. This easy-to-use and convenient software accurately finds matching segments in parallel texts, provides capabilities to edit the alignment results and allows saving them into TMX files for further use in CAT-tools or into RTF files.
"Isometry is a very fast translation memory for all kinds of translators.
It is free, yet powerful.
You can search translation memories, glossaries, and dictionaries as you type.
Documents and translation memories can be shared, so you can translate them with your coworkers, and your translation will be more consistent while you are working as a group.
On the other hand, if your document is strictly confidential, you can choose not to send it to the server. Your data is only stored and can be translated on your local computer.
Isometry automatically save all the revision history. You can see how you or other translators and checkers translated and changed the text.

"Multi Translator is a small free utility for translation of text or subtitles (SubRip .srt).
At the moment it is possible to translate from Danish to Swedish (dansk til svensk). However, it is possible to add more languages.
Please note that translated material will still need manuel correction."
"Translation Table creates a two column table, where in the first column you get the source text segmented by sentence, each sentence in a cell, and in the second column you can put your translated sentences, each one in opposite cells to the source sentences. It is not a CAT (Computer Aided Translation) tool. For that, you may look to the Anaphraseus extension at http://anaphraseus.sourceforge.net/ or the OmegaT project at http://www.omegat.org/.
