CAT Editor & Translation Memory

Taia’s built-in CAT Editor (Computer-Assisted Translation Editor) allows you to review, refine, and perfect translations — whether generated by AI or created by a linguist.

It’s especially useful for internal reviewers, post-editors, and language leads who want full control and visibility over the translation process.

✍️ What Is a CAT Editor?​

A CAT (Computer-Assisted Translation) editor displays translations in a structured, segment-by-segment interface.
It provides:

  • Side-by-side view of source and target content
  • Smart suggestions from AI, glossary, and translation memory
  • In-context editing
  • Task assignment and commenting

🧭 Key Features​

🔄 Segment-based navigation​

  • See the source and target text for each segment
  • Navigate quickly between paragraphs, bullets, and dialogue

🧠 Smart suggestions​

  • Get AI-generated translations, even if not used initially
  • View translation memory matches (100%, fuzzy, partial)
  • Glossary terms are highlighted and clickable

💬 Comments & collaboration​

  • Leave comments on specific segments
  • Mention teammates using @ syntax
  • Track discussion and change requests

🛠 Editing tools​

  • Mark segment as complete/incomplete
  • Reject or revert suggestions
  • View change history for auditability

💾 Translation Memory (TM)​

Taia automatically stores confirmed translations in your translation memory, which:

  • Improves consistency across projects
  • Speeds up future translations
  • Reduces cost by eliminating rework

TM suggestions appear automatically in the editor and are scored by match quality (e.g., 100%, 85%, etc.).

🧾 Glossary Integration​

When a glossary is linked to the project:

  • Glossary terms are automatically highlighted
  • Clicking a term shows its definition and preferred translation
  • Editors are warned if a term is not used as defined

👥 Use Cases​

  • Internal language reviewers
  • Post-editing machine-translated output
  • Freelance linguists collaborating on your project
  • Managing multilingual quality assurance

🔐 Permissions & Access​

Only users with edit access to the project can use the CAT Editor.
You can:

  • Assign tasks to editors
  • Restrict editing to specific users or roles
  • Track who made changes and when
