CAT Tools, or Computer-Assisted Translation Tools, are software applications designed to help translators work more efficiently. They assist in managing translation projects by providing features like translation memory, which stores previously translated segments for future use, and terminology databases that ensure consistent use of specific terms. This helps translators save time and maintain quality across their work.
These tools are especially useful for large projects or when translating similar content, such as technical manuals or marketing materials. By streamlining the translation process, CAT Tools enable translators to focus on the nuances of language while improving productivity and accuracy.
