In translation work, multiple people are involved such as project managers (coordinators), translators, and reviewers (checkers). Among them, translation support tools are used to specifically support the work of translators and reviewers, and to improve the efficiency and quality of translation work. These tools are also known as CAT tools (Computer-Assisted Translation tools). Some representative products include Phrase TMS from Phrase and Trados Studio from RWS.

Computers (AI) translate instead of humans. It is also known as automatic translation or AI translation. CAT tools do not have machine translation engines themselves but require integration with external machine translation services such as DeepL or Google. When past sentences cannot be found in the translation memory, the machine translation is used. It takes less time to correct machine-translated text than it does to translate it from scratch by a human. One thing to note is that machine-translated sentences may seem correct and fluent when read alone without the source sentences, but they may contain mistranslations or omit words or phrases from the source text. Therefore, it is necessary for humans to compare and verify the source text and the translated text, and make corrections if needed.

A glossary is a database in which translations and explanations corresponding to specific names in the source document are stored. It is important to use the correct name in official documents. By using a glossary, you can prevent incorrect names from being used in the translation. The glossary function of the CAT tools allows you to register terms such as product or service names in the glossary, so that when translating, the terms contained in the source text are automatically searched and the translation and explanation are displayed on the editing screen. The glossary function of MTrans for Trados automatically searches for terms in the source text during machine translation, and automatically uses the corresponding terms in the machine-translated translation, eliminating the need for human post-editing.

This refers to a database that stores pairs of source sentences and target sentences that have been translated in the past. It is also known as TM. When translating for the first time, the source sentence and the target sentence are added to the translation memory, and by referring to the translation memory thereafter, there is no need to translate the same sentence multiple times.
Additionally, since it is possible to search even with partial matches, when there is a similar source sentence, the past translation can be reused and only a part needs to be modified to complete a new translation. By using the translation memory, the time and cost required for translation can be significantly reduced, especially for documents with many similar sentences or revised documents.

Trados is a computer-assisted tool (CAT tool) that enables efficient translation work.
