Are Cat Tools and TEnTs (translation Environment Tools) the same thing? [/quote]
Originally, I think the word TEnT was created in an attempt to include specialised non-translation tools that translators use in the group. Think of glossary software, for example -- it's not a CAT tool, but translators use it specifically for translation. However, these days, TEnT has become just a synonym for CAT tools. Sure, those who use "TEnT" may say that they mean something else, but do they?
