In the translation business, manual translations hold a lot of significance. That\u2019s because even today, machines cannot match the linguistic expertise levels of human beings and the latter\u2019s intellect. However, one cannot discount the fact that human-driven translation is prone to errors. These errors reduce the translation\u2019s quality score. Besides, each error can potentially degrade the user experience. Thus, using cutting-edge translation technologies becomes imperative. These tools are called CAT tools. Let\u2019s overview CAT (Computer-Assisted Translation) tools to get a better understanding of them.<\/p>\n
CAT tools are programs translators and linguists use in document translation. They help translators enhance the productivity and quality of translations. In addition, linguists and translators can edit, manage, and store previous translations. Many people believe CAT tools translation is devoid of human intervention. But that\u2019s a myth. CAT tools provide a helpful environment for translators and enhance the translation process. So, as a translator, you cannot expect the CAT tool to translate for you.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s overview some CAT tools used in translation.<\/p>\n
Also addressed as translation glossaries, term bases are databases providing definitions or specific instructions for using translated terminology. One can consider it a dictionary used with translation memory to look up terms relevant to the context. In addition, term bases help maintain translation accuracy across various projects via the consistent use of common or exclusive terminology appropriate to a particular business\u2019s context.<\/p>\n
It is a record of translations created earlier and aligned with the source texts. It can help split enormous multilingual documents into translation segments. The memory helps you save time and increase translation consistency by saving all earlier approved translations and reusing them while translating similar content.<\/p>\n
As the name suggests, QA features help perform quality checks and prevent errors and numeric mismatches, identify deviations from approved terminologies, missing text, etc. You can begin the QA process before sending a document for translation, continue it during the translation and editing process, and conduct checks on the final document.<\/p>\n
While translating, translators have to ensure that the original meaning and context don\u2019t change. Style guides provide a set of guidelines serving as a rulebook to translate accurately and simultaneously retain the original intent. It can prove helpful in every context, especially when translators have to convey a brand\u2019s unique attributes.<\/p>\n
Here are some benefits of CAT tools for translation<\/a> and business.<\/p>\n The term bases and translation memories allow the translation of multiple texts with equal consistency. CAT tools improve and evolve with time. Translation memories and databases of earlier translations can help you use earlier approved translated content and thus reduce the translation workload as well.<\/p>\n CAT tools eliminate the need to copy and paste translations into a particular template. Instead of doing all of it, you can focus on translating the excerpts requiring translation. The CAT tool takes care of the rest and yields a clean copy of the original document in the source language once completed.<\/p>\n Some factors determining the adaptability of CAT tools include compatibility with exchange files from other CAT tools, set user-based access authorization, integrations and inbuilt modules allowing workflow customization, and multiple device accessibility to allow remote use.<\/p>\n The matching technology of CAT tools fosters increased efficiency. Translators don\u2019t have to retype everything every time. It helps save many person-hours at the company level.<\/p>\n Tools like quality assurance enable translators to deliver better quality and more accurate translations, thus matching customer expectations.<\/p>\n No software or tool is perfect. CAT tools aren\u2019t an exception. They can potentially divide the source file into tiny separate segments like a sentence or a phrase. Thus, the tools can only comprehend the sentence\u2019s context and not the entire document. Hence, translators cannot fully rely on CAT tools for translation.<\/p>\n We hope the above provided you with an overview of the various aspects of CAT tools.
