Word Aligner - Free visual word-by-word alignment for any language pair

Word Aligner helps language learners, teachers, and linguists see exactly why a translation says what it does. Stack a sentence over its translation, link matching words by clicking, and the connectors make reordering, dropped words, and splits obvious at a glance. Add a gloss tier for morpheme-by-morpheme notation, an IPA tier for pronunciation, and set fonts and text direction for each line. When the diagram is ready, export a clean PNG or SVG for slides and handouts, or share as a URL.

“It Worked Once” Is Not The Same As “It Is Repeatable”

If you ve been following along and want to support us, we d really appreciate a GitHub star:

A repo reaching a working state once is useful.

But the real value comes when that working state can be repeated by the next person, on the next machine, or in the next automation run.

What are the 5 tools you simply couldn't do your work without?

This could be related to your industry, or even a side project you're working on.

Here are my 5 (I couldn't function without them):

  1. Grammarly proofreading my texts, not just posts, but also client communication

  2. ChatGPT / Claude mostly brainstorming, help with copy, and summarising

  3. Figma I can put the basic graphics together quickly.

  4. Translator sounds incredibly old-school, but English is not my mother tongue

  5. Gmail and not only for communication, but also for storing ideas and sending myself email reminders for posts
