Comparison between the Environments of Trados Translator’s Workbench (38) and the corresponding functions of Dйja Vu X(7.5.302) Abstract As a cutting-edge trend of translating， Computer-aided translation （CAT） plays a significant role in the field. Among kinds of CAT softwares， Trados and DVu became the mainstream of the translating market since they were available in the market. By discussing the environments of two CAT softwares in this paper， translators efficiency would be improved to some degree in the future. Key words Computer-aided translation； Trados； DVu 中图分类号：H315.9 文献标识码：A Nowadays， the industry of translation has entered upon a new era. An important division of translation is named computer-aided translation used by over 5，000 large corporations in the world that has proved CAT is more accurate， efficient， and cost-saving than the traditional human translation and computer translation. According to Professor Chan Sin-wai （2007）， academically， CAT has come of age after 25 years of development. As CAT is interactive （Prof Chan， 2007）， i.e.， in computer-aided translation， the computer program， such as Trados and DVu X， supports the translator who translates the text himself， making all the essential decisions involved， which is different from human translation translated by man and computer translation by machine. After the brief introduction of the two main products （Trados and Dvu） in CAT systems respectively， this paper will compare the differences between the environments of Trados Translator’s Workbench 38 and the corresponding functions of DVu X 7.5.302 in terms of the interfaces， matches， terminology， formatting and concordance. By discussing the features of the two translating software， translators would grasp the different features of the two CAT software and their working efficiency would be enhanced satisfactorily. 1 About Trados and Dvu Trados， released in Germany in 1984 is the most popular CAT system on the market. It has
