CATalkalmazások

CATalkalmazások refers to applications or software that utilize or are related to computer-assisted translation (CAT) technology. These tools are designed to assist human translators in the translation process, aiming to improve efficiency, consistency, and quality. CAT tools typically include features such as translation memory (TM), terminology management (termbases), and machine translation (MT) integration.

Translation memory is a core component, storing previously translated segments of text. When a translator encounters a similar segment, the TM suggests the stored translation, saving time and ensuring consistency across the project. Terminology management systems, or termbases, allow translators to create and manage glossaries of specific terms and their translations, vital for maintaining accuracy and uniformity in technical or specialized content.

Many CAT tools also integrate with machine translation engines. While MT can provide a rapid initial translation, it is generally used in conjunction with human post-editing to refine the output and ensure it meets quality standards. Popular CAT tools include SDL Trados Studio, memoQ, Wordfast, and Across. These applications are widely used by professional translators, translation agencies, and corporations with global communication needs. The adoption of CATalkalmazások has significantly transformed the translation industry, enabling faster turnaround times and more cost-effective localization efforts.
