Computer-assisted translation. Computer-assisted translation, computer-aided translation or CAT is a form of language translation in which a human translator uses computer software to support and facilitate the translation process. Computer-assisted translation is sometimes called machine-assisted, or machine-aided, translation (not to be confused with machine translation). Overview[edit] The automatic machine translation systems available today are not able to produce high-quality translations unaided: their output must be edited by a human to correct errors and improve the quality of translation. Computer-assisted translation (CAT) incorporates that manual editing stage into the software, making translation an interactive process between human and computer.[1] Some advanced computer-assisted translation solutions include controlled machine translation (MT). Range of tools[edit] Computer-assisted translation is a broad and imprecise term covering a range of tools, from the fairly simple to the complicated.
