I am looking for good descriptions of processes used by traditional (i.e. not "smart") CAT tools to put together several non-overlapping (or partially overlapping) longest substrings, identified by a concordancer, to offer a full target sentence or at least a longer string to the translator for consideration, perhaps in a predictive/auto-suggest mode.

I am looking for good descriptions of processes used by traditional (i.e. not "smart") CAT tools to put together several non-overlapping (or partially overlapping) longest substrings, identified by a concordancer, to offer a full target sentence or at least a longer string to the translator for consideration, perhaps in a predictive/auto-suggest mode.

I hear that some CAT tools do it (or do something very similar), and some tools (Déjà Vu? SDL Trados?) do it better than others. I am mostly familiar with memoQ. Although it routinely performs automatic fuzzy match repairs ("match patch") and identifies separate LSCs (and sometimes offers their TM/TB-based translations), it stops short of putting the latter together. I would be interested in seeing this happen in other tools. Could anyone point me to good descriptions or demos?

Thank you!

Sorry for not being precise about the terminology. By "traditional" I meant CAT tools widely used by translators, i.e. SDL Trados, memoQ, Wordfast etc. By "smart" I meant adaptive/interactive TM/MT and other AI-enhanced systems such as Lilt or SCATE.
