Resumen
EcoLexiCAT is a freely available online application, which integrates all features of the professional translation workflow in a stand-alone interface where a source text is interactively enriched with terminological information (i.e. definitions, translations, images, compound terms, corpus access, etc.) from different external resources. EcoLexiCAT is powered by MateCat and the external sources include EcoLexicon, BabelNet, the EcoLexicon English Corpus (powered by Sketch Engine) and IATE, as well as other common resources (e.g. Wordreference, Wikipedia, Linguee, etc.). Machine translation (MT) can also be optionally added. In order to evaluate the functionalities and performance of the tool, two experiments were carried out. In the first, one subject group used EcoLexiCAT and the other used MateCat, acting as the control group. In the second, both subject groups used EcoLexiCAT and only one used MT. Both experiments shed interesting light on user behaviour, performance and satisfaction while using EcoLexiCAT.
