There are three translation technologies at the heart of computer-assisted translation (CAT) software – translation memory (TM), termbase and (MT). While each of these can be used separately, their real power comes when all three are brought together in a single solution – such as SDL Trados Studio. With these technologies you can deliver high-quality translations quickly while keeping your costs competitive.
