Today’s translation services have embraced new technology, to enhance and improve the premium services we offer our clients.
Our advanced Computer-Assisted Translation (CAT) software means we can provide efficient and accurate translations, ensuring the integrity of terminology, while saving our clients time and money. Ready to discover how translation technology can transform your business?
What are the latest translation tech breakthroughs?
CAT technologies known as Translation Memory (TM) tools or software, designed to utilize and optimize data from previous translations. This enables translators to make ultra-efficient use of existing translations and ensure consistency of terminology and style.
Instead of replacing mechanical translation instructions, Translation Memory tools store previous translations and allow them to be quickly used in similar or duplicate parts of the text, simplifying the translation process, while increasing productivity without affecting quality.
Computer-Assisted Translation (CAT) software
Our translators, editors and project managers all agree; computer-assisted translation software makes their lives easier and their work better, seamlessly enabling efficient and accurate translations while significantly improving the quality of work processes.
Different translations, same CAT technologies
CAT tools are versatile enough to make a difference to many different types of translation. For example, when used for technical or financial translations, they are great at maintaining consistent accurate terminology, as they allow the creation and use of specialized databases. For legal document translation, translation memory tools build in the integrity and legal accuracy of terminology, which is particularly important in this field.
We recommend using CAT technology translation in the following cases:
- If the text that needs to be translated contains repeated terms or passages of text.
- When using translation services for the long-term and seeking to maintain the integrity of different translations.
- For large translations with repetitive phrases, on a tight deadline.
Advanced translation software can also be used for multiple language combinations.
What are the advantages of CAT tools?
Here are our favorites:
- Higher translation speed and lower costs – using translation memory, you can instantly insert previously translated words, sentences or parts of text. A true win-win.
- Higher translation quality and improved consistency – CAT translation technologies allow for control of the same terminology across all documents in a project, even if a single text is translated by several translators.
These advantages allow us to not only ensure a high quality of work when translating larger volumes and repetitive material, but also to offer flexible, competitive budget costs and timings.
Terminology management tools
We love terminology management tools because they allow us to efficiently manage and standardize specific terminology. We use them to formulate and manage each project’s terminology base, ensuring consistent use of terms. This is particularly powerful for technical, scientific, legal or medical translations, where accurate and consistent terminology is of paramount importance.
These tools not only help to avoid mistakes and misunderstandings, but also increase the efficiency of the translation, as translators have all the terms they need at their fingertips. Terminology management tools are often integrated with CAT tools, which gives translators even more convenience and productivity.
We’re always looking for new ways to improve the quality of our translations, to deliver a better quality, more competitive service for our clients. Call us today and we’ll show you how we can exceed your translation expectations!
