摘　　要：计算机辅助翻译(CAT)工具可以集成各类资源和功能,能在翻译过程中为译员和团队赋能。大数据时代,在互联网技术和云计算技术的基础上,CAT工具不断迭代升级,已从最初的单机版CAT软件发展到了如今的云翻译平台。本文以YiCAT和Memsource作为中外云翻译平台的代表,从界面设计、翻译项目管理等方面对两款云翻译平台进行了综合对比,并探讨了两者在资源集成和功能创新上的差异,对比研究的结论为:YiCAT易用性强,适合CAT工具的入门用户,而Memsource功能强大,适合本地化需求大的进阶用户。通过对比两款云翻译平台的功能异同,希望本研究不仅能够有助于研究者加深对云翻译平台功能及特色的认识,还能为云翻译平台本地化和未来技术发展指明方向。In the translation process,computer-aided translation(CAT)tools can integrate various resources and functions,so as to empower individual translators and translation teams.In the era of big data,with the development of Internet technology and cloud computing technology,CAT tools have been constantly upgraded from the initial stand-alone CAT software to today’s cloud-based translation platforms.Taking YiCAT and Memsource as representatives of cloud-based translation platforms in China and other countries,this paper conducts a comprehensive comparison of the two in user interface design and translation project management,and explores the differences between the two in resource integration and innovative features.According to the comparative study,YiCAT is easier to use and therefore more suitable for novice CAT tool users,while Memsource is powerful and suits advanced users with high demand for localization.By analyzing functional similarities and differences between the two cloud-based translation platforms,this study not only aims to help scholars improve their knowledge of the functions and features of cloud-based translation platforms,but also hopes to provide clear directions for the localization and technological development of cloud-based translation platforms.
