“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. CAT Tools provide a variety of functionalities aimed at increasing the consistency of terminology and automatizing the formatting to help translators provide translations of highest quality, even in the shortest deadline.

In this webinar training, you will find out how what are Translation Memories and how to manage them and successfully apply them in your translation projects. Translation Memories often referred to as TMs, are one of the functionalities of CAT tools. In simple words, they are record storage of all texts translated within the translation software. Translation Memories work in two ways ? they store all the translation units (e.g. sentences) while the translator translates a text and at the same time, they analyze the text that is currently being translated and search the database for similar units.
