Yo no sé nada acerca de las herramientas CAT como TRADOS y quiero que me expliquen algo.
Yo siempre he pensado que tales herramientas de traducción eran para las personas que no tienen ningun conocimiento de un idioma extranjero, puesto que el programa es un sustituto para el traductor y hace la traducción automaticamente, como los servicios gratis de traducción en la red como ’Google Translator’, ¿verdad? Entonces, ¿Por qué usaría un traductor tales herramientas despues de haber pasado años estudiando los idiomas de su especialidad? Estoy completamente en las tinieblas acerca de este asunto. Explíquenmelo, por favor. |

Well, CAT means "computer-assisted translation", so this means that it is not completely made by the computer, it just "assists". CAT software helps the translator do his job faster by saving what he/she has translated so far. Thus, every time he/she runs across a segment that he has already translated (or that he has translated in some degree at least), he'll be offered his own previous translation. CAT tools are not a substitute for a translator, nor automatic translation software such as Google translator is. CAT software only offers you segments you already have in a Translation Memory.
I hope this helps you a little bit. See more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compute...ed_translation |
