Translation Memory (TM)

Consistent terminology and lower costs

A Translation Memory (TM) is a translation storage facility in a database-oriented system which stores segments of source text and equivalent target text, but without context provided by the source documents. TM systems are designed first and foremost to ensure consistent terminology and style. TM not only makes translation work easier, it also accelerates the process, leading to substantial cost reductions.

Use and benefits of Translation Memories (TM)

A Translation Memory (TM) is a facility for storing all your texts, with the related translations, in a central location.

  • A TM is particularly valuable when working with repetitive texts such as operating instructions, with many identical or similar text blocks.
  • Besides the terminology benefits, a TM makes it much easier to ensure consistency across your internal and external communications.
  • Using alignment, even translations completed long ago can be integrated into the TM for you.
