CrowdIn, Tolmach and others work directly in the browser. Trados, MemoQ - expensive corporate complexes, installed on the computer. The output will be a fully translated file. When the translation is completed, the program creates a document that is identical to the original - preserving the structure and formatting, but replacing the source text with your translation.ĬAT-programs do not change the original document, therefore it is impossible to irreversibly spoil the document. Over the years, such a base may accumulate that in the new document half of the translation will be ready “by itself”. The more texts on similar topics you translate, the more translations accumulate in the database, and more often hints appear. Help in literary translation will not be so obvious, but more on that later. ĬAT helps especially in translating instructions, legal documents, program interfaces - where similar language is found very often. And the program can translate identical segments by itself. If the translator encounters a similar segment, the program will display a hint or a possible translation. The person translates the segment one by one, and the translation is stored in a special database - translation memory (translation memory, TM ). CAT - the principle of operation, when the computer only helps in the work, automating routine processes.ĬAT programs divide the source text into segments - lines, sentences, paragraphs, or paragraphs.

Google Translate - machine translation, computer translate for you. Automatic translation of identical segments.

If these are new words for you - welcome to the wonderful world of Computer Aided Translation. If you are familiar with Trados, MemoQ or CrowdIn, go directly to the installation instructions.
