A Translation Memory (TM) is a database that stores translated phrases, sentences, or paragraphs for future use. Each time a translator works on a project, the TM suggests matches from previously translated content, significantly reducing effort and turnaround time.

Benefits of TMs:

• Consistency: Maintain uniform language across projects.
• Time-Saving: Reduce repetitive work by reusing content.
• Cost-Effective: Save on translation costs with fewer revisions needed.

TMs are especially useful for technical documents, product manuals, and other content with repeated phrases or terms.
