Computer-Assisted Translation (CAT) tools help a human translator in his work. Such programs maintain a database with short translated expressions, as a source of suggestions. A major problem is lack of mature applications for handling desktop publishing (DTP) files, which pose a difficulty because of their graphical diversity. In this paper we present functional and technical requirements of a system currently being developed, and present experiments with algorithmic solutions to short word suggestion lists and recognition of non-translatable symbols.
