As Common Sense Advisory (CSA) analysts inform on their weblog, Hungary-based SkyCAT, a spinoff of Morphologic, is currently working on a new computer assisted translation suite named SkyCAT.

The company-website currently offers little information apart from an email-link to request more information.

However, according to the CSA Global WatchTower Blog, the company previously engaged primarily in machine translation software and now intents to launch a CAT suite. Engineers with year-long MT-experienced may, thus, bring new aspects to software tools for human translation processes and have translators profit from advances in MT-technology.

Having run a demo-version, experts from CSA were impressed by the new software's ground-up focus on a clean, usable interface, its modularity, and its pricing strategy: SkyCat is to be offered in three versions priced from USD 0,- to 1500,- .

The free version is to target freelancers, offering them a full-featured tool that only lacks a unified translation memory -- instead each project will create a TM-database. A stand-alone version for USD 399,- is to offer what the version lacks -- the one-for-all TM -- and may introduce many of those freelancers inexperienced with TMs to that technology. A server version will target the agency- and enterprise-market.

Babelport.com will watch the release closely and keep our readers informed.
