Try using the -b option in the tokenizer / detokenizer to disable buffering.

Hello Fatma,

Moses has been used for character-level translation, but the alignment
is not done by moses itself, but by external tools like (M)GIZA++ or
fast-align.

J?rg Tiedemann has some suggestions on how to represent your text to get
good character alignments with GIZA++:

best wishes,
Rico
