Post title: CAT Tools Increase Productivity
Given the extremely expensive prices of CAT tools, at least by Indonesian translators' standard, now I am using two free online tools: MateCat and SmartCat.
Both greatly increase my productivity and facilitate my translation works.
Without CATs, I could translate on average 2,500 words per day. With them, I translate 2,500 words in just half a day.
They are really helpful if the documents contain many repetitive words.
If the current documents I am translating do not have repetitions, I will have the benefits when translating other future documents containing terms that have been translated in previous documents.
Finally, with the increasingly improved quality of automatic translation, the CATs greatly accelerate my ability to find the right equivalent in the target language.
