What is it?

A form of human translation carried out within an integrated technology environment that provides translators access to sub-segment, adaptive machine translation (MT) and translation memory (TM), terminology lookup, and automatic content enrichment (ACE) to aid their work, and that automates project management, file handling, and other ancillary tasks.

Why is it important?

Augmented translation makes translators more efficient by automatically handling routine and repetitive tasks, and freeing them to focus on difficult content that requires human attention.
