?Introduction to CAT tools? webinar

At MD Online, we put a lot of weight on highest possible quality of translation. Therefore, the decision to work in CAT tools was a natural one for us. Yet, we are also aware that beginning the work in a new software can be overwhelming. This is why we decided to create a series of webinars on translation software, directed to translators collaborating with us. Why CAT tools matter? CAT (Computer Assisted Translation) tools are computer software created to suit the needs of translators. These programs aid translation in a way that helps maintain the quality of translation and simultaneously speed up the translation.
