ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the results of the study conducted on both users and non-users of computer-assisted translation (CAT) software in Poland. It presents the results, reviewed and analysed with SPSS statistics software. The statistical analysis of the data is supported with graphical representation of the findings. The chapter covers such aspects of the study as sample characteristics of the test subjects, usage of CAT tools and machine translation, influence of CAT technology on income, individual evaluation of CAT tools by CAT users and non-users, as well as reasons for using or not using CAT tools. SDL Trados Studio is by far the most popular CAT tool – it is used by nearly half of the respondents. The second and third places were taken by memoQ and Wordfast. Other choices included Memsource, Across, and XTM. Average evaluation of CAT tools is approximately eight points higher in CAT users vs non-users.
