    Study Notes

    Computer-Aided Translation

    • Text analysis involves considering linguistic and extra-linguistic factors, as well as the text, context, and co-text.
    • Context includes cultural references that may be embedded in the text or a corpus of texts.
    • A key challenge in Computer-Aided Translation (CAT) is differentiating between context and co-text.
    • CAT tools struggle to identify the different contextual references within a text or corpus of texts.
    • Translation Memory is a crucial component of CAT tools, but its capabilities in handling context and co-text are limited.
