CAT (Computer Assisted Translation)

Computer Assisted Translation (CAT) refers to software tools that help human translators work more efficiently and consistently. These tools don't translate automatically but support the translation process by providing features like translation memory, terminology databases, and helpful suggestions. Translation memory stores previous translations, allowing the translator to reuse or adapt them for similar texts, ensuring consistency and saving time. CAT tools improve workflow, maintain quality, and facilitate collaboration. They are essential in professional translation work, enabling accurate and efficient language conversion across various industries.
