Machine Translation is also known as CAT (Computer - assisted translation) Tools. The term of ‘Machine Translation’ (MT) firstly established by Warren Weaver on 1947 (Arnold, 1994: 12). Warren Weaver is defended the feasibility of developing an automatic translation program. Then, it is known as Systran (Acronym for System Translation).

Arnold (1994:1) stated that Automatic Translation or Machine Translation as it is generally known – the attempt to automate all, or part of the process of translating from one language to another. Koehn (2009:1) stated that machine translation systems are for instant access to foreign language text. Polo (2012: 37) stated that Machine Translation (MT in subsequent text) can be defined as the transfer from one natural language to another with the help of a computer. ElShiekh (2012: 57) stated that Machine translation, in computational linguistics, publishing, and other fields, is a term that is used to refer to the use of computers to conduct large-scale translation operations.

Today, there is a lot of machine translation in the worlds. The machine translation provides various feature and many languages over the world. Generally, machine translation or known as Computer Assisted Translation tool (CAT Tool) divided into two, free and paid.
