Translation Memory (TM)

Software used to identify and leverage repetitions in source texts and translations so that segments of text can be reused and existing translations can be presented to a professional translator for inclusion.
Use of TM offers a wide range of benefits in a translation project including:

• Higher client (and end user) acceptability by inclusion of previously accepted terms
• Consistency within documents where the text has been written and translated with reuse in mind
• Time and cost saving in the translation process through not reinventing the wheel each time
• Consistency across documents, products and delivery channels
• Transportability of the text across versions and updates of products.
