　 Features of Snowman (CAT software)

1. Easy to use, stable and fast: import 150,000 TMX sentences into the memory bank in one minute, and automatically delete duplicate sentences.

2. The combination of EBMT (Example-Based Machine Translation) and TM (Translation Memory) technologies will give full play to the role of the translation memory, and will pass the "How clever a boy he is! What a clever boy he is!" Learning this sentence will automatically translate "How clever a girl she is!" into: "What a clever girl she is!".

3. Fast online word search function: Integrate multiple online dictionaries such as "Google Online Dictionary, Microsoft's EngKoo, Youdao Dictionary, iCIBA, Dict.cn", etc., without having to log in to the online dictionary website to enter To find what they are looking for, the translator only needs to double-click a word in the original text or use the mouse to select a word or phrase, and the search results will be immediately displayed; if he is not satisfied with the search results, he can immediately switch to another online dictionary and Search results are displayed immediately without having to re-enter, making searching for words very convenient and fast!

4. Intuitive preview of the original text and translated text: Snowman software is directly embedded in WORD, allowing you to intuitively preview the original text and translated text to better grasp the integrity of the article. It is especially convenient to translate documents with complex styles, mathematical formulas, chemical formulas, chemical equations, etc.

5. Supports two input modes: left-right comparison and up-down arrangement of the original translation. Users can use it according to their personal habits. The two input modes can be switched at any time. The single sentence mode will automatically translate the words, and you can input them with just one click, speeding up the input process.

6. Supports the export of bilingual comparison documents: the translation manuscript can be exported as a bilingual comparison file in paragraph format or web page format to facilitate proofreading. The paragraph format is one paragraph of original text and one paragraph of translation. The web page format is based on sentences, one sentence of original text and one sentence of translation.

7. Intelligent screen word picking function:

(1) At present, most translators use CAT software and dictionary software to work together, and there are still some conflicts between CAT software and dictionary software. The found words can only be entered or copied again. Snowman CAT software comes with dozens of professional and millions of dictionaries (the free version has 300,000 words). When the mouse points to a word or phrase and stays for a moment, a small window will pop up to give the translation of the word or phrase. After clicking on the content, it can be automatically input into the translation, which greatly reduces the translator's keyboard input workload.

(2) Another convenience of Snowman CAT software is that new words, terms and phrases defined by the translator during the translation process can be immediately applied in the screen word picking. For example, when translating the previous sentence, you translated "set the world on fire" as "shaking the world" and saved it to the dictionary. When you encounter the phrase again in the next sentence, the translation will pop up immediately. Click it to enter . This is difficult to achieve when using other CAT software and dictionary software to work together.

8. Intelligent processing of word form changes: The search and matching results will not be affected by changes in tense or singular and plural numbers of a word (the free version does not support this function), giving full play to the role of the memory bank.

9. Introducing a powerful bilingual alignment tool. Whether it is a Chinese article and an English article separately, or a mixed Chinese and English article, Snowman can automatically help you align it sentence by sentence, and it can also directly read into other CATs. The software's translation is created into its own memory bank. Snowman's bilingual alignment tool can help you easily create a large memory library, which is easier to use than Trados' WinAlign.
