Project managers might find the most value from computer-aided or -assisted translation (CAT) tools during the preparation phase, when seeing the stored translations automatically applied to the new project they are working on. However, CAT tools' major benefit is in the main translation and review process.

Finding out what your customer's expectations are is always an important first step towards success. As a translator, you should check with your customer or project manager if updating the translations of exact or context match entries is requested, or not.
