We will take a look at several translation tools, including MemoQ, SDL Trados and Déjà Vu, in terms of applications in different fields of translation (audiovisual, patents, pharmaceuticals, etc.), focusing on the idea of adapting them to one’s work and using the features one needs to get the most out of them with the least amount of stress. These tools have become quite complicated in recent years, but getting started and keeping a CAT going should not require nine lives, so we will look at getting to the essentials one needs.
If you want to have some input into the presentation content, please answer the questions here (JAT members only) or contact us at [email protected].

With his background in chemistry, he has specialized in patent, chemical and pharmaceutical translation and dabbles a little in interpreting. He has long been interested in translation tools and started using translation memory software when it first became Japanese capable in the 1990s. He has followed the developments as closely as possible and has interest in a wide range of tools in addition to the ones he uses regularly.
