Is TMS a CAT-tool? keyboard_arrow_down
Before TMS came about, computer-assisted or computer-aided translation (CAT) tools were the main means of properly handling translation tasks. CAT tools allow users to work with bilingual text, that is, the source (original) and the target (translation). The core components of CAT tools usually included a translation memory (TM), a bilingual editing environment (such as an interactive bilingual table), a termbase (TB), and a quality assurance (QA) module.
Over time, these features were no longer enough to effectively deal with the growing and dynamic translation and localization needs of modern enterprises. That’s why a variety of business management features ended up appearing in this type of solution, resulting in the birth of what is now called TMS.
