Hi,

I am looking for a CAT tool that has the following features:

- Integrated internally in git repositories
- Sends notifications to translators whenever there are updates that affect the translation

Hi,

I am looking for a CAT tool that has the following features:

- Integrated internally in git repositories
- Sends notifications to translators whenever there are updates that affect the translation
- Has Terminology and LQA features integrated
- Allows translators to see how the translation will look like in the GUI as the translation is being created.

Is there any tool that has these features? I recall some years ago a CAT tool that was integrated with Websites and allowed translators to see a rendered version of the translated Website as it was being translated, but I don't remember the name of the tool.

Thank you very much for your help,

Maika ▲ Collapse

That's technically impossible.
There are umpteen ways of assembling UI:s and pushing strings into them, including doing it all in code.

Large software manufacturers would have such tools for their own use.

It's perfectly possible -- I've seen it in action. In some solutions, the translation is visible in the UI immediately, but in other solutions, you have to press e.g. F5 to reload the string into the UI. But it depends on the language that the software is programmed in, so the OP won't be able to find a single solution that works with all software. I can't remember the names of the tools... this was years and years ago.

Sure, I've seen this too.

That was my badly expressed point. There can't be a one-size-fits-all tool for lots of technical and legal reasons.

Catscradle may be the tool you mention Apr 3, 2023

Of course, it only works with Web sites
