Computer-assisted translation, computer-aided translation or CATis a form of language translation in which a human translator uses computer software to support and facilitate the translation process.

Computer-assisted translation is sometimes called machine-assisted, or machine-aided, translation (not to be confused with machine translation).

What are some of the downfalls of using computer assisted translation?

Computer assisted translation software can sometimes not take in to account the nuances and variances within a language and therefore give quite strange responses. Sometimes translation produced with software is very literal and loses the hidden meaning behind what was intended. With poor translation, the reader or recipient is often left confused and alienated by what they have read.
