CAT Tool (Computer-Assisted Translation Tool)

A CAT Tool, or Computer-Assisted Translation Tool, is software designed to help translators work more efficiently and accurately. It stores previously translated sentences in a database called a translation memory, allowing the translator to reuse consistent segments across documents. The tool also provides helpful features like term glossaries and automated suggestions. While the translator makes the final decisions, the CAT Tool streamlines the translation process, ensures consistency, and saves time, especially on large projects or repeated content. It is a valuable resource for professional translators working in multiple languages.
