WHAT’S A CAT TOOL?
CAT stands for computer-assisted translation. These tools are a must-have in any language consultant’s toolbox as they offer features that help us during the various stages of a translation project.
For example, CAT tools help us with the following:
- translating content while maintaining the original layout (formatting, codes, tags and styles) while following the target language’s rules.
- handling a wide range of file formats (.docx, .pptx, .xlsx, .indd, .rtf, .pdf, .srt, .mp4, .mov, .csv, .xml, .xliff, .html, .json and many more)
- quality checks on the translated material and generating ready-to-use files
What are the advantages for you?
- No extra DTP costs: processing the original file helps you save on design and layout costs
- No extra pre-/post-translation costs: if the source file is correctly formatted and ready to be overwritten, you can save on file import/export and subsequent content checks.
- Fewer errors: no copying and pasting text means fewer mistakes.
- More languages more easily: we can handle complex translation projects involving multiple languages or translators, always ensuring consistent translation and terminology
Take your business anywhere in the world.
