Computer-assisted translation solutions include controlled machine translation (MT). Higher priced MT modules generally provide a more complex set of tools available to the translator, which may include terminology management features and various other linguistic tools and utilities. Carefully customized user dictionaries based on correct terminology significantly improve the accuracy of MT, and as a result, aim at increasing the efficiency of the entire translation process. Computer-assisted translation is a broad and imprecise term covering a range of tools, from the fairly simple to the complicated. These can include: Translation memory programs store previously translated source texts and their equivalent target texts in
