Do you constantly need translations for your company? Would you like to develop a specific short-term or long-term translation project that follows the same corporate line? In that case, make sure you collaborate with a company whose expert translators are assisted by CAT tools. You will save time and money.
Computer Assisted Translation tools are defined by software that assists the work of a human translator.
CAT tools are computer programs that provide extra help on translation projects, as they speed up the process and provide greater effectiveness, avoiding repetitions, which means the companies that request these translations save time and money.
It’s important to point out what CAT tools are and what they are not. Despite the fact that they are a valuable support to the translator’s work, they do not translate on their own and need human action through proofreading or the revision of the translations. We’ll explain why.
CAT tools are especially useful to translate large amounts of content with a lot of repetition:
There are many companies that have recurring content, with few but necessary differences from one period of time to another, that require its translation into several languages.
Hiring the services of a professional translation company that has quality computer assisted translation tools will guarantee that companies’ content will be translated in a consistent and harmonious way, with no contradictions and more efficiently in terms of costs and deadlines.
The characteristics of these translation software tools help optimize professional translators’ work. Let’s see what they consist in.
As you can see, CAT tools are of great assistance when organizing translation projects, acting as an invaluable assistant that helps to obtain quality, coherent and more effective translations.
