Japa is
sentence aligner. Given two texts which are a translation of each other, it
produces a sequence of alignments as well as a global score reflecting the cost
of this alignment.
The alignment produced are of the type m-n (m and n can be 0, 1, 2), where m and n are the number of source and target
sentences, respectively.
The man
page for the program is available here.
