source text which are found in the dictionary or terminology database are
automatically displayed with their translations.
Examples of terminology tools are Trados Multiterm
(http://www.trados.com/), Atril TermWatch (http://www.atril.com/) or
STAR TermStar (http://www.star-ag.ch/).
Software Localisation tools
Special tools have been developed to translate graphical user
interfaces of software applications, i.e. the dialog boxes, menus, and
messages that are displayed on a computer screen. These tools allow
translators to view their translations in context. For example translations
can be entered directly in a dialog box and then saved.
Software localisation tools also contain features for automatically
translating updated software with previously translated versions, and for
running basic tests on localized software, for example checking if no
translated text has been truncated in the screens because of space
restrictions.
Examples of software localisation tools are Corel Catalyst (now
Alchemy Catalyst - http://www.alchemysoftware.ie/) and Passolo
(http://www.passolo.com/).
The Next Generation
Even though many translators still need to get acquainted with
traditional translation technology such as translation memory, the next
generation translation tools have already been introduced. Companies like
e-Translate and Uniscape offer automated internet-based translation
workflow solutions that automate many steps in translation projects. Texts
are not only transferred automatically through each translation and review
phase, but databases containing the source text are linked to translation
