What is a CAT tool? Computer-Assisted Translation explained
Computer-Assisted Translation (CAT) tools are the quiet engines behind modern multilingual communication. This guide breaks down what they are, how they work, and why teams of all sizes rely on them to translate faster, stay consistent, and collaborate effortlessly.
The difference between general and technical translation
General translation focuses on fluency and tone, while technical translation prioritizes accuracy, consistency, and risk control. This guide explains why the difference matters and how to manage it properly.
What is AI Translation and how it differs from Machine Translation
Most teams think they’re already using AI for translation, but most aren’t. This story explains the real difference between AI translation and machine translation, how modern systems learn from human feedback, and why it’s changing the future of global communication.
What is Machine Translation Post‑Editing (MTPE)
Machine Translation Post‑Editing (MTPE) is a hybrid translation method that combines automated translation with human editing. It’s ideal for high‑volume, time‑sensitive or budget‑conscious projects, delivering faster turnaround and lower costs while maintaining quality. This guide explains what MTPE is, the differences between light and full post‑editing, when to use them and best practices for success.
Best practices to create a terminology database
A terminology database is not just a glossary. It is a system that defines meaning, enforces consistency, and improves translation quality over time. This guide explores best practices for structuring terms, adding context, governing updates, and integrating terminology with translation memory and human review. Learn how platforms like TextUnited turn terminology into a scalable, self-improving system.
