These sentences are called вЂfuzzy matchesвЂ™. However, apart from the 100% matching sentences there can also be sentences that are really close to each other, but still differ in some respects. The CAT tool recognizes that these lines match 100%, and possibly has already filled in the translation of the first occurring sentence to assure consistency in the translation. In the example below, (taken from the poem вЂAnnabel LeeвЂ™ by Edgar Alan Poe), the red colored lines are repetitive text. At a segment level however it is possible that some sentences or word groups occur more than once in a text.

The translation software breaks a whole text into segments from one sentence, structuring the text and making it easy for translators to focus their thoughts and translate sentence by sentence. The advantages of using a piece of CAT software to translate a source text are many, because a CAT tool actually does much more than simply provide a work environment for translators.

Of all the CAT tools SDL Trados and MemoQ seem the most popular. Recent technologies, however, have also opened opportunities to create CAT tools online, which make it possible for translators to work on the go (hence the blog post about the future of CAT tools).

There are many CAT tools out there, as I already showed in my blog post вЂHow many CAT tools should you need?вЂ™ In the blog post I list about 25 different tools, of which most work offline on computers. Therefore a CAT tool is different from Google Translate (and competitor products like DeepL) as it does not translate the text itself. A CAT tool is thus software that enables a translation, but does not do the translation.

Basically, translators open a document (вЂsource fileвЂ™) to be translated, do their work and export the translation (вЂtarget fileвЂ™) in the same formatting as the source file. It is simply a piece of software that enables translators to translate their work. вЂIs CAT a brand?вЂ™ While there has been much written about CAT tools already, (see my colleague, Anuschka Schutte, here), I will explain in this blog how a CAT tool actually works and how it can improve the quality of translations.Д¬AT actually is an acronym for Computer Aided Translation. вЂWhat is a CAT tool?вЂ™ an acqaintance asked. My blog post about the future of CAT tools raised a couple of questions from people outside the industry.

In this blog post I explain what translation software actually is. Translation software however does a whole different job. вЂSo you are using Google Translate?вЂ™ is not an unfamiliar question. When translators say they are using translation software for their work, it often raises eyebrows.
