What Is CAT?: Computer-Assisted Translation, Computer-Aided Translation or CAT Is A Form of

Computer-assisted translation, also known as computer-aided translation or CAT, is a form of language translation where a human translator uses computer software to support and facilitate the translation process. CAT incorporates the manual editing stage into software, making translation an interactive process between the human translator and computer. Some advanced CAT solutions include controlled machine translation, but CAT is not to be confused with fully automated machine translation.

What is CAT?

Computer-assisted translation, computer-aided translation or CAT is a form of language


translation in which a human translator uses computer software to support and facilitate the
translation process.

This is a red sentence that should not be translated.

Computer-assisted translation is sometimes called machine-assisted, or machine-aided,


translation (not to be confused with machine translation). Some advanced computer-assisted
translation solutions include controlled machine translation (MT), however.

Overview
The automatic machine translation systems available today are not able to produce high-quality
translations unaided: their output must be edited by a human to correct errors and improve the
quality of translation. Computer-assisted translation (CAT) incorporates that manual editing stage
into the software, making translation an interactive process between human and computer. [1]
