Abstract	The translation industry has witnessed rapid technological improvements in recent years. This rapid improvement is ascribed to a huge demand for the workload. Using a computer in the field of translation is very important due to the huge demand for fast and accurate translation. Translation tools came to existence due to the low proficiency of machine translation. CAT tools have become essential for many institutions, companies, and organizations. CAT tools increase productivity and minimize translation costs. The purpose of this study is to scrutinise the attitudes of professional translators and translation students towards CAT tools in Yemen. The questionnaire of this study was composed of 27 statements distributed to four constructs. The link of the questionnaire was distributed via WhatsApp to the participants. The other tool was an online interview about some issues related to CAT tools. These responses were analysed qualitatively. The researchers distributed the questionnaire to 250 people, and the valid responses of the participants were 56. The analysis shows that they have positive attitudes towards CAT tools. The results of the study show that professional translators and translation students show a positive attitude. Unexpectedly, the profiles of the participants do not play any role in their attitudes towards CAT tools. (As Provided).
