The Northern California Translators Association (NCTA)
Our friends at the Northern California Translators Association (NCTA) have announced a workshop on CAT tools. This workshop will focus on computer-assisted translation (CAT) tools, which can be more accurately referred to as “translation environment tools.” Attendees will see that tools like Déjà Vu, memoQ, Google Translator Tool Kit, or Wordfast Pro are not only CAT tools, but truly have an environment that allows translators to also manage terminology, provide quality assurance, work in complex file formats, cooperate with others, and much more. Jost will focus on the similarities between these specific (and other) tools as well as on differentiating factors.
Attendees will also be introduced to new developments in translation memory and terminology management technologies as well as a quick overview of supporting tools for text/term extraction or translation memory maintenance.
