With the analysis and report generation completed you can review information about how well your documents aligned and about the TM(s) generated, including the price, and then, you can select the language pair(s) for which you would like to generate and purchase the TM(s).



The "Project Summary" box at the top of most pages has miscellaneous information about the project. On this page, it is entitled, "Alignment Analysis Status".



The "Alignment Analysis Status" box as well as displaying the project's name shows when the alignment analysis was completed.

If you do not wish to purchase any TMs at this time but wish to keep the project stored for later use choose "Close Project" and when you open this project at a later time you will returned directly to this page. If you definitely do not wish to ever generate and purchase any TMs from this project, select "Delete Project" and all files uploaded for this project will be deleted. Remember that, "Deleted Files Cannot Be Recovered."

Once you have selected the choice you prefer by clicking the radio button beside it, click "Next" to continue.



If the files you uploaded in "Step 2:  Upload Documents" were not all HTML files you will not be given this option and your project will proceed directly to the next step, "Step 5:  Download Purchased TMs", when you click "Next".

However, if all of your uploaded files are in HTML format, you may have your TM(s) created with or without HTML tags.

Example:
Without tags: <tu>Click on the bold headlines to read the articles.</tu>
With tags: <tu>Click on the <b>bold</b> headlines to read the articles.</tu>

If you want to include HTML tags select "Yes" and if you do not want to include them click "No". Then click "Next" to proceed to "Step 5:  Download Purchased TMs".


The AutoAligner generates TM(s) for the languages selected and purchased by you. During this time a progress indicator and the estimated time to completion is displayed. You may wait or you may log out and log in later to check on the progress of this task. If you log out, to resume your project when you log in later in the Side Menu under "AutoAligner" click on "Project List". A list of your available AutoAligner projects will then be displayed and, in that list, click on the "Open" button for this project.

Once the TM generation is completed your project will proceed automatically to "Step 5:  Download Purchased TM(s)".



The NoBabel system will automatically e-mail you a receipt for the AutoAligner TM(s) you have purchased for the project. The e-mail will automatically be sent to the e-mail address usually associated with your NoBabel Account.
