Machine Translation (MT) is a translation technology where the translation is performed entirely by a computer instead of a person.
TM tools are software packages based on Translation Memory ™ technology, most widely known TM tools are: Trados, Transit, DejaVu, SDLX.
Translation memory ™ is a technology that allows translator to store translated phrases and terms for a reuse in future translations. Use of TM tools reduces translation costs and increases speed of translations, especially with repetitive documents, such as manuals and web sites. As only one translation is used for a particular phrase or term, a greater linguistic consistency is achieved over the complete document or project.
CAT stands for Computer Aided Translation and is a technology that automates parts of translation process, thereby supporting translators in translation process. Most important categories of CAT tools are Translation Memory tools and Software localization tools.
Localization (also known as L10n) is the conversion of a product (software, website, on-line help and relevant documentation) from its source language to the target language of the audience in a different country, culture, or region of the world. Localization is a broader concept than translation, because it involves not only linguistic but also cultural, legislative and other adaptations to the needs and requirements of the local audience.
