CAT tools

CAT tools, or Computer-Assisted Translation tools, are software programs that help professional translators work more efficiently. They store previously translated text segments in a database called a translation memory, allowing translators to reuse accurate translations of similar or identical content quickly. These tools also facilitate consistent terminology and can integrate dictionaries or glossaries. By streamlining the translation process, CAT tools improve productivity and ensure consistency across large projects, making them essential for professional translation workflows.
