Translation Memory (TM)

Translation Memory (TM) is a database that stores segments of translated text, such as sentences or phrases. When a translator works on a new document, the TM suggests matching segments from previous translations, allowing for faster and more consistent work. This tool is especially useful for repetitive content, ensuring uniformity across documents and reducing translation time and costs. Essentially, TM acts like a bilingual reference library, helping translators reuse and adapt past translations efficiently.
