The translation of scientific texts presents unique challenges due to the specialized terminology, complex structures, and precise information that must be conveyed accurately. Computer-Assisted Translation (CAT) tools have become increasingly vital in addressing these challenges, offering translators a range of features that enhance the quality, consistency, and efficiency of scientific translations. This paper explores the role of CAT tools in scientific text translation, focusing on key aspects such as Translation Memory (TM), Terminology Databases (TD), and Quality Assurance (QA) systems. These tools help ensure terminological consistency, improve productivity by reusing previous translations, and assist in identifying errors or inconsistencies in the translated text. Despite their advantages, CAT tools do not replace the critical expertise of human translators, especially in the context of complex scientific concepts. The paper also discusses the limitations of machine-generated translations and the continuing need for human intervention to preserve the accuracy and nuance of scientific language. Overall, the use of CAT tools in scientific translation represents a crucial advancement in making scientific knowledge more accessible while maintaining high standards of precision and clarity. Keywords: scientific texts, research papers, challenges, CAT tools. In the era of globalization, characterized by rapid advancements in various fields, the dissemination of scientific knowledge has become a crucial aspect of modern society. However, translating scientific texts, such as research papers, articles, and academic books, poses unique challenges due to the complex nature of the content. Scientific texts often incorporate specialized terminology, intricate structures, and language specific to a particular domain, necessitating a high degree of precision in translation. To address these challenges, computer- assisted translation (CAT) tools have gained significant attention. These tools utilize machine learning, artificial intelligence, and vast databases to assist human translators, resulting in more accurate and efficient translations. The evolution of Computer-Assisted Translation (CAT) tools in the realm of scientific text translation has been instrumental in enhancing both the quality 164 ACADEMIC RESEARCH IN MODERN SCIENCE International scientific-online conference and efficiency of translation processes. This paper delves into the significance, advantages, and obstacles associated with employing CAT tools in the field of scientific translation, examining aspects such as accuracy, coherence, and productivity. Furthermore, it explores how CAT tools contribute to the translation process by providing translators with access to resources like translation memories, terminology databases, and quality control features, which are crucial for maintaining the integrity and accuracy of scientific knowledge in translated texts. Moreover, this study examines the impact of these tools on the role of translators and anticipates future trends in CAT technology. The significance of precise translation in scientific texts Scientific writing is characterized by its meticulousness, and accuracy becomes paramount when ensuring the effective communication of content to the intended audience. In the realm of scientific research, data, experimental outcomes, and theoretical frameworks frequently require translation without distortion. Any inaccuracies in translations can result in misinterpretations of research findings, potentially having severe consequences for the scientific community and the general public. One of the most significant challenges in scientific translation lies in the presence of specialized terminology specific to particular domains such as physics, biology, medicine, or engineering. These terms often cannot be directly translated into other languages without risking semantic alteration. For example, terms like "gene editing" in biology and "quantum entanglement" in physics necessitate not only linguistic translation but also a deep understanding of the underlying scientific concepts. CAT tools can be of great assistance in this regard, ensuring that technical terminology is consistently and accurately applied throughout the text. Two essential components of CAT tools — translation memory (TM) and terminology databases (TD) — allow for the storage of previously translated terms and expressions, facilitating the retrieval of accurate terminology during subsequent translation tasks. This approach guarantees the consistency of scientific terminology, enhancing both the quality and precision of the translation process. Improving Efficiency in Scientific Translation Bowker and Fisher emphasize that CAT tools, particularly Translation Memory (TM), significantly improve the efficiency of scientific translation. They argue that TM systems allow translators to store and reuse previously translated segments, which can
