Translation Memory

Translation Memory (TM) is a specialized tool used by translators that stores previously translated text segments, such as sentences or phrases. When working on new translation projects, the TM suggests these stored segments if the same or similar text appears again. This helps ensure consistency across documents, speeds up the translation process, and reduces repetitive work. Think of it as a bilingual checklist that references past translations to assist with current ones, making the process more efficient and uniform without sacrificing quality.
