Introduction to CAT technology

CAT: Computer Aided Translation

CAT technology offers the concept of translation memory and

termbase

Translation memory: a database consisting of translation units

� Translation unit: source and translated sentence

What is CAT Technology?

� During translation, the technology searches for exact or similar matches to the current

source sentence for translation

� Matches found can be reused or edited

Termbase: multilingual database

� Term entries: terms, synonyms, acronyms, etc.

� Additional data: definition, part of speech, gender, etc.

Translators work with a translation memory and termbase to reuse

previous translations and ensure consistency of terminology

What is a translation memory?

A translation memory (TM) is a growing

database that constantly learns from the

translator

It captures your translations as you work

for future reuse

What is a translation memory?

for future reuse

The same sentence never needs to be

translated twice saving time and money!

Not to be confused with machine

translation!

A source sentence is previously

translated and stored with the target

sentence (TU) in the translation memory

When the source sentence re-occurs, the

translation memory remembers the

How does a translation memory work?

translation memory remembers the

translation and inserts it into the new

source document

The translator may accept the suggested

translation, or edit it with an alternative

(this would also be stored for future use)
