The computer-aided translation (CAT) tool is truly a great asset of a professional translator who deals on a daily basis with various translation of websites, public announcements, corporate letters, IT translations, literary works... 
There are several main points why it is beneficial to use a CAT tool. I find it an irreplaceable and very helpful instrument in my daily work. 

As a translator, how many times did you ask yourself: could this phrase or sentence be translated better? Is this the best possible translation?
I have often asked myself these questions in an effort to produce the best, most accurate, and yet creative translation.
This is especially the case if I am translating some marketing material or performing what some refer to as "transcreation".
The text needs to be creative. It should read as a native expression. It should entice the local readers or consumers as something created just for their needs, not as something foreign.
I often need to think long and hard about brands, logos and mottos which I am translating. The creative approach is what's needed. 
I ask myself: Would I personally be attracted to check out or buy certain product because of its cool sounding motto or product description? Does the translation have any hidden messages or meanings that could be misinterpreted in the target language?  
Sometimes, the answer comes as a flash idea. Aha! That's right! I love these moments, when the creative nature of this work comes about. 
The work of a translator is multifauceted. It involves knowledge, experience and creativity.

What do we mean when we say "expert translations" or "expert translators"?
Can (or should) any translator take on a software localization project?
Should a legal contract, the crucial element of a joint venture, be translated by a translator who is not familiar with legal terminology?
Should a medical diagnosis be translated by a translator who has no experience in medical translations?
Should a religious, devotional text be translated by someone who has no knowledge of religious terminology?
Obviously, the answers to all questions above are no. 
The role of a translator is crucial in each and every translation. With a full responsibility towards the client, only the translator who is (highly) qualified should take on and deliver such an expert translation project.
The translator should always preview the source text and be confident about being able to translate it.

How does one become an expert translator? 
There are various ways for specializing in certain translation fields. Some translators come from a business or technical background and it is only natural that they will have the experience and the knowledge of specific terminology. Another way is to choose to specialize in a certain field because the translator is keenly interested in it.
Therefore, it is necessary to specialize. The end client will benefit and appreciate the professional work of an expert translator - every time.

Why do we need glossaries?
Every expert field of translation requires the usage of a glossary. Most of the time, the translator needs to follow precise project guidelines and translate specific terms related to the field (i.e. medical, legal, financial) accurately and consistently. There is no need to reinvent the terms. Consistency in translation is crucial. This is why we use glossaries.

Why does a client need a glossary? 
In case that the source text is translated by several translators, having a glossary is a must. The translators need to use the same, consistent and predefined terminology so that the target text would be accurate and professional.

Why does the translator need a glossary? 
For specific fields of expertise, it is very important to have glossaries and keep building them. This also applies for long-term projects and clients. 
Therefore, glossaries can vary in relation to their respective language pairs, fields of expertise or client/context preferences.

Let's presume that your business is expanding and you would like to localize your services/products to a new target language. You may choose to engage a translation agency or a professional translator.
If you are translating your website or your marketing material into various languages, it would be a good choice to engage a professional agency which could provide a fast turnaround and quality work.
However, any communication between the client and the translator who is working with a translation agency has to go through project managers. The communication is not direct and it requires more time. It could also cost more to engage an agency than a professional translator.
Sometimes, what the client actually needs is not merely the translation of marketing material but a transcreation. To provide the right solution for the client, the translator needs to consider cultural/economic/traditional values of the target market and its consumers. This is why the client needs to have a direct communication with the translator, especially if this is going to be a long-term engagement.
Engaging a translator whose area of expertise is exactly related to your content could prove to be worth its weight in gold. You would be guaranteed that the translator will meet your requirements and give you exactly what you need: expert translation on time and, very likely, it will be more affordable than the translation provided by a translation agency.
