info_outline About
YiCAT is a CAT-tool and a TMS launched in May 2018 by Tmxmall, a Chinese company behind Tmxmall.com, a translation memory marketplace. It complements the company’s prime offering and reduces dependency on third-party software. Now, translators can use Tmxmall even if they don’t have a CAT-tool with an integration.
Before deploying their own CAT-tool, Tmxmall operated via plugins to 5 third-party tools, such as Trados, memoQ. Translators connect to the marketplace and get matches for their jobs; they pay per match. The marketplace charges $1.5 per 1000 words, and takes 10% commission, while 90% goes to the memory’s uploader.
Best for
At launch, the developers focused on functionality maximizing leverage. Besides a native integration with TM marketplace, they have completed 12 machine translation integrations primarily with Chinese engines that are not present in Western CAT-tools. With a huge Shared public TM and unique set of MT engines, YiCAT is well-positioned to provide high leverage in Asian translation projects, especially projects with a large portion of new words.
