Computer-Aided Translation

Computer-Aided Translation (CAT) is a technology that helps human translators work more efficiently by using software tools. These tools often include translation memory, which stores previous translations to ensure consistency and speed, and terminology management to maintain accurate language use. Unlike fully automatic translation, CAT supports human translators by providing resources and suggestions, making the process faster, more accurate, and more consistent across large or complex projects. It enhances productivity without replacing the nuanced understanding that a skilled human translator brings to the task.
