While new technologies have posed a challenge to language professionals because of the drastic change in working methods, they have also brought significant benefits in terms of efficiency and work quality.<\/p>\n<p>The three main innovations of the digital transition that have reshaped the Language Industry are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>CAT (computer-assisted translation) tools;<\/li>\n<li>Machine translation (MT);<\/li>\n<li>Artificial intelligence (AI).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Each of these tools was initially met with fear and curiosity, only to become an integral part of the modern translation process. In this article we examine how these innovations have transformed the professional translation business.<\/p>\n<h2>CAT tools \u2013 the first revolution in digital translation<\/h2>\n<p><strong>CAT tools<\/strong>\u00a0(computer-assisted translation tools) represent the first major revolution in the language industry in recent times. These\u00a0<strong>computer-aided translation tools<\/strong>\u00a0are software designed to optimize professional translators\u2019 work, ensuring consistency and speed.<\/p>\n<p>Compared to manual handling of the source translation, CAT tools automated certain steps in the process, starting with division of the text into<strong>\u00a0segments<\/strong>, i.e., small sentence-long units that are saved in pairs with their respective translation in a database known as a translation memory (TM).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Translation memories<\/strong>\u00a0are the key feature of CAT tools, as they make it possible to retrieve and leverage past translations. This has the following benefits:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Increased speed\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 CAT tools avoid the need to re-translate the same segment several times by retrieving it from a TM and suggesting it to the translator, who can choose to confirm or change it, making use of past translations;<\/li>\n<li><strong>More consistent terminology\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 While there used to be a risk of translating the same segment or term in different ways, CAT tools ensure uniform terminology throughout the document, as well as between different documents for the same client.<\/li>\n<li><strong>More efficient project management\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 The use of CAT tools also changed translation project management for the better, because it allows professionals involved in the work cycle (translators, proofreaders and project managers) to share work on the same document. This has benefits not only for the final product, but also for processing and delivery times.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Adoption of CAT tools required significant investment in software licenses, along with intensive training to acquire the new digital skills required to use them.<\/p>\n<p>Once language professionals overcame their initial confusion and acquired the necessary resources and skills, CAT tools were successfully integrated into the translation process, only to be followed by a new digital innovation: machine translation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In recent decades, the\u00a0digital revolution\u00a0has profoundly transformed the\u00a0professional translation\u00a0industry by introducing increasingly disruptive innovations.
