Abstract
This quantitative study aims at measuring the extent to which Saudi translation agencies use Computer-Assisted Translation Tools. It gives researchers and other people who look forward to working in Saudi translation marked a clear picture of the status of using Computer-Assisted Translation Tools. Two questions control the study: 1)to what extent are CAT tools used in Saudi translation agencies? 2) to what extent are Saudi translation agencies aware of the features of CAT tools? The study used a questionnaire distributed among 11 Saudi translation agencies for data collection. The data were analyzed by frequency distribution tables illustrating each response’s percentage. The results showed that there is still a lack of translation technology, including the use of CAT Tools, in Saudi translation agencies, even with the noticeable increase in adopting these tools. More than half of the participants show unawareness of these tools or their features. Therefore, they have negative expectations for their future. This study contributes to translation studies, highlighting the importance of integrating CAT tools into the Saudi translation market and university programs.
