What is Clear-CAT

Clear-CAT® is a multi-user product localization and workflow solution which facilitates software and documentation translations and handles the full process from intake through delivery of translated software and documentation.

Unlike other Computer Assisted Translation solutions which are file based, Clear-CAT® is object based.

An object based storage structure which is storing strings within context enables cross leveraging between software and documentation translations.

Key design aspects are:

One single system, capable of handling emerging technologies, so no need for plug-ins to external Translation Memory systems.
Object based Translation Memory included in the product, and based on standard MS-SQL.
Visualized database structure, to process localization projects quick and efficiently.
Detailed statistics available from any location in the node based storage structure.
Automated File filter selections, to process mixed file types without the need to tune or configure the filter before you can process your file.
Translation leveraging which is fully integrated and always active, and a part of the same product.
Client / Server design to support a true multi-user work environment and as such enable an efficient use of shared resources - concurrent collaboration.
License system is based on internet activation, so no need for hardware dongles to run your product.
Push technology for Filter and product updates, i.e. no need to download anything any longer.

Within Localization Consultancy & Technologies we have always asked ourselves the question 'why do you need to have separate tools for similar localization tasks'.

To us it seemed so obvious that by combining translation streams life would be so much easier for those who are familiar with the day to day hassle of localizing products by using a wide variety of different tools.

Clear-CAT® enables the possibility to cross leverage translations between documentation and software.
Improves the consistency between documentation and software, because everything is stored inside the same database.
Provides clear overviews due to the structural approach and the visualization of the database content.
