The document describes a computer-aided translation and interpretation training system called CATS. It provides course management, multi-lingual resource centers, and translation management platforms to support online translation and interpretation courses. CATS allows instructors to upload multimedia content and documents, create translation cases and assignments, and evaluate student work. It aims to improve over traditional methods of collecting assignments through email by offering an integrated online platform for pre-class, in-class, and post-class activities.

Editor's Notes
- Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. First let me briefly introduce myself. My name is Liu Qiang and I'm the technical director of Beijing WeTrans Technology Co.,Ltd. I'll introduce you a computer aided translation and interpretation teaching & training system, or shortly CATS.
- Although Multimedia Technology had been widely use in Modern Classes. It has been decade that most teachers never try new educational tools and communication methods other than PowerPoint slides and email.
- Professors usually collects students' assignments through e-mail attachments with zip format and should be able to view the content by uncompress them.
- To make a translation case for class use or to do students’assignment checking professors and student always turned to Microsoft Word as their first choice. Though it is quite a easy choice, It has many disadvantages: It is inefficiency, and sometimes it is a chaos， mostly it is nearly impossible for statistic analysis.
- The traditional way of interpretation practice is that a teacher or a companion conrols PLAY and PAUSE function of a media player on a computer manually for the praticer and then exchange the role. Such procudure is quite boring the time wasting.
- We built a Computer Aided Translation and Interpretation Training System for Teaching, Trainig, Testing and Researching just solving those problems.
- Our system contains a course management platform, a multi-lingual resource center, and a translation management platform with CAT tools support on top of several backend service as documentation service, automatic evaluation service and remote interactive teaching & study service.
- On our course management platform, teacher (professors) can divide a course into Pre-Class, In-Class and Post-Class Sections, in which they can logically organize there course content, put some preview reference materials such as videos, links etc. , choose a translation case from our multi-lingual resource center, upload their own documentations, slides, and put some assignments, group work, or discuss for homework and much more.
- Multimedia content can be viewed directly on our platform and powerpoint slides can be played on our platform without downloading and opening it in MS software.
- We support many translation assignments such as tranlation work, interpretation, translation work peerreview, even for a writing and writing peerreview.
- Our multi-lingual resource center has a large quantity of translation cases library in 30+ languages and still being filled with newly admitted real business cases and automatically crawlered and classified multi-lingual articles.
- Here is an example of our recourse center automatically align a Chinese article and it's Japanese translation sentence by sentence.
- Translation cases show like this in our platform. A notation can be made and viewed with it's origin and translation marked together. In our annotation system, you can choose mulitple words, phrase or sentences of both orignal and translation and make just one note.
- We have some online cat functionalities such as an online dictionary, automatic term recognition ( base on our terminolgoy mangaement modules ), and even a speech to text assistant if you are too lazy too type anything.
- For interpretation practice, our multi-lingual multimedia resource center provide a standard interpretion learning library with scientfic classificaion in many perspectives such as domains, scenes, difficulties, languages and even time and accent which based on teaching program.
- Here is a breif animated picture of how we built our interpretation resources. It's like a subtitle editor but it has more specific functionalities: features like choice for language, speaker, original text, translation text, annotation and overall explantation. Some of the information needed for an interpretation teaching case can be processed automatically by our backend programs.
- Theses pictures show how you can do interpretation practice on our system for consecutive interpreting, simultaneous interpreting and sight interpreting. All the practice procedure is controlled automatically by program. It knows when to stop, when to play and when to record.
- We also support interpretation note taking with HD precison by integretion of a note taking hardware.
- Assignment checking can be done mannully and automatically. Mannul annotation and automatic annoation are marked in different colors and teachers can confirm or discard a automatic annotation as wish or just turn off all automatic annoations.
- To check a paragraph's translation of all participants, we support similar translation searching and annotation which can save quite a amount of teachers time.
- Our evaluation service has multi-lingual support, that is our algorithm is language independent. We also support statistic analysis for one assignment and an assignment of all paticipants.
- Students can do peer-review of their translation work and writing exercise on our system.
- For cheking of interpretation assignment, teachers can mark a point on the recording and record or typing a comment. Our system also support automatic evaluation of an interpretation work to some extent.
- For archiving and research requirements, our system can also export a course's outline (in docx or pptx format), a single translation assignment with notation(in docx format with comments) and a translation assigment of all paticipants ( in xlsx format).
- Till now we have many university customers across China. Some of which are the top Language Universities in China, such as Beijing Foreign Studies University and Beijing Language and Culture University and we cooperate with them both in teaching, researching and develoing domains. We hope in the nearly future our system could spread worldwide so many more teachers and students will benifit from it.
