On the Comparison and Design of Computer-Aided Translation Software

Abstract:

With the development of computer technology, computer-aided translation software is widely applied to translation. It is able to improve translation efficiency and quality. Meanwhile, it is in accordance with the requirement of market-oriented translation workshop. The paper compares the strengths and weaknesses of the major computer-aided translation software, which provides the software consumers with practical suggestion. The design principle is also discussed in the paper to facilitate the design of satisfactory computer-aided translation software to the users.
