Sakhr Arabic-English Computer-Aided Translation System

Abstract

Automation of the whole translation process using computers and machine translation systems did not fulfill,so far, the ever-growing needs for translation. On the other hand, Computer-aided translation systems have tackled the translation process by first concentrating on those mechanical tasks performed during the translation, then by gradually automating those intellingent (creative) tasks.This has resulted in useful systems that both increase translator’s productivity and guarantee better cinsistency across translation jobs.This paper describes Sakhr Cat system which has been specifically designed to support document, web page translation and software localisation for the Arabic-English language pair.
