Computer-Aided Translation
- Text analysis involves considering linguistic and extra-linguistic factors, as well as the text, context, and co-text.

- 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.
