However, the inability of machine translation to pick up language nuances means that the translations may be unnatural and incorrect. Learn more about the <a href=\"https:\/\/amperelocalization.com\/blog\/machine-translation-vs-computer-assisted-translation\/\">differences between Machine Translation and Computer-Assisted Translation<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h2>4 elements of CAT tools that boost the quality of translations<\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CAT tools have many useful features such as spellcheck, autosuggest (suggestions based on previous translations), and more. Here are the four main elements of any good CAT tool.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3>Translation memory<\/h3><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The software <\/span><b>saves each source segment and its corresponding translation in a database called translation memory<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This is a fantastic feature as it means that if you have a document with a sentence, or similar sentence, already saved in the translation memory, the CAT tool will retrieve it and provide the translation for you. This speeds up the translation process significantly, while also ensuring consistency with past and future translations.<\/span><\/p><p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14257 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/amperelocalization.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2023-what-is-a-computer-assisted-translation-cat-tool-01_op.webp\" alt=\"Screenshot with source and target segments in a translation memory\" width=\"1101\" height=\"136\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amperelocalization.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2023-what-is-a-computer-assisted-translation-cat-tool-01_op.webp 1101w, https:\/\/amperelocalization.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2023-what-is-a-computer-assisted-translation-cat-tool-01_op-300x37.webp 300w, https:\/\/amperelocalization.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2023-what-is-a-computer-assisted-translation-cat-tool-01_op-1024x126.webp 1024w, https:\/\/amperelocalization.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2023-what-is-a-computer-assisted-translation-cat-tool-01_op-768x95.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1101px) 100vw, 1101px\" \/><\/p><h3>Term base or glossary<\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A term base or glossary is essentially a database (similar to a dictionary) where <\/span><b>you can input your preferred terms or expressions for a particular company or organization<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Using it alongside the translation memory helps ensure accuracy and consistency, because it reminds translators of the preferences for the text they are translating.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3>Quality assurance<\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just like Microsoft Word or Google docs can check the spelling of a text, <\/span><b>CAT tools have a spellcheck function to prevent any spelling or grammatical errors<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. They can also highlight missing text and links or numeric mismatches, adding an extra level of quality assurance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3>Machine translation capability<\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Combining MT and CAT tools, <\/span><b>human translators and post-editors can review and edit the auto-generated text produced by machine translation<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, spotting potential mistakes and delivering high quality results.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h2>3 Benefits of CAT tools for your business<\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, now that you know what a CAT tool is, how it works and its main features, you\u2019re probably itching to discover just how you and your business can benefit from using one!<\/span><\/p><h3>CAT tools save you money<\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember how we explained that a CAT tool allows you to save your translation in a translation memory?\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means that <\/span><b>you can use this translation memory <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(with the text that you previously translated)<\/span><b> in new translation projects<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. When the translation memory finds identical, or similar sentences or paragraphs, it will<\/span><b> let you reuse your existing translations<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> meaning that translators don\u2019t have to retype the same translation in different texts.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This can be particularly helpful if, for example, you need to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/amperelocalization.com\/automotive-translations\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">translate a car brochure<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with repeated information or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/amperelocalization.com\/e-commerce-translations\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">product listings for your online store<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with multiple colour variations.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This saves you money because it saves your translator\u2019s time!\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/amperelocalization.com\/contact\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contact the team at Ampere Localization<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to discover more about how CAT tools help you save money.<\/span><\/p><h3>CAT tools enhance consistency<\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you are translating your website or a brochure, industry-specific jargon, terminology and tone are all important. By using translation memories and termbases within CAT tools, <\/span><b>your team of translators will deliver consistent results every time<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by referencing the text previously translated and accessing preferred terminology stored in these databases.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Translators work smarter, and you get better results.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3>CAT tools increase productivity<\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With a CAT tool, translators don\u2019t only save time by not having to retype the same translations in different texts, they also skip the labour-intensive process of preparing, editing and formatting a text. <\/span><b>The CAT tool extracts the content that can be translated and
