CATaLog Online: A Web-based CAT Tool for Distributed Translation with Data Capture for APE and Translation Process Research

We present a free web-based CAT tool called CATaLog Online which provides a novel and userfriendly online CAT environment for post-editors/translators. The goal is to support distributed translation where teams of translators work simultaneously on different sections of the same text, reduce post-editing time and effort, improve the post-editing experience and capture data for incremental MT/APE (automatic post-editing) and translation process research. The tool supports individual as well as batch mode file translation and provides translations from three engines – translation memory (TM), MT and APE. TM suggestions are color coded to accelerate the postediting task. The users can integrate their personal TM/MT outputs. The tool remotely monitors and records post-editing activities generating an extensive range of post-editing logs. Compared with current state-of-the-art CAT tools, CATaLog Online provides an enhanced interface, an option to integrate APE and more informative logs to help translation process research.
