Description

I've just been working with a translation that got pretty low alignment scores on the source text. I researched the language a bit and managed to find related languages that performed better.

This made me wonder whether it's not worth building an alignment "index" so we can identify clusters, run alignments against samples in each cluster and find decent candidates automatically. Have you guys solved this problem in some other way or done something like this?

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating the existing alignment workflow and how alignment scores are produced, then determine whether related languages and sample-based comparisons are already represented. The issue does not define the clustering method, candidate criteria, or completion checks, so those requirements need clarification before implementation.
