Hello!  

To align files and create a Translation Memory (TM) in Trados Studio 2024, you will need to use the desktop version of Trados Studio, as the alignment tool is not available in the web-based version. Here are the steps to align files and create a TM:

**Step 1:** Open Trados Studio on your desktop.  

**Step 2:** Go to the 'Home' tab and locate the 'Alignment' option under the 'Projects View' section.  

**Step 3:** Select the source and target files you wish to align. Ensure that the files are in a compatible format supported by Trados Studio.  

**Step 4:** Follow the prompts to align the documents. You can choose to review the alignment results and make any necessary adjustments before finalizing.  

**Step 5:** Once the alignment is complete, you can import the resulting Translation Units (TUs) into a new or existing TM.  

**Step 6:** If needed, you can also create an intermediate file in the new sdlalign format for further editing before importing it into the TM.  

Please note that the alignment tool allows for the alignment of one or several file pairs, and you can choose to send the aligned TUs directly to the TM or edit them in the Translation Memory view afterward.
