Abstract

This research paper reviews the literature on the use of computer in translation. This review aims at understanding how computers have been implemented to foster translation. This review investigates the studies that have dealt with computer-assisted translation (CAT). Specifically, it reviews the studies that have explored the benefits of CAT; factors affecting the use of the computer in translation, the limitations of CAT, and current advancement in this area. The review discusses the findings of these studies and suggests guidelines for future research studies in this area. It concludes that further studies are necessary to investigate the use of CAT in translating cultural Arabic terms. Also, further studies are necessary to determine the principles that are required to implement computer tools in translation.

Keywords: computer-assisted translation, machine translation, Google Translate, on-line translation, translation.

Introduction

Translation plays a crucial role in the interaction between distinct cultures. Translation is supposed to bring languages close to each other. By translation, people of different places can communicate among themselves. This process can be carried out by human translators or some machine translation applications, or by a combination of both (i.e. computer-assisted/aided translation). Computer-assisted translation (CAT) is the developments of computer technology that have created new opportunities for translators that cannot be found in traditional ways.
