What is Translation Memory?

"what is translation memory?" caption thumbnail

Translation memory (TM) is a smart database that sits alongside a human translator and stores every translation sentence by sentence. Because previously translated content doesn't need to be translated again, TM increases consistency, reduces costs, and speeds up delivery over time. Watch to learn how TM works, the different types of matches (100% matches, context matches, fuzzy matches, and repetitions), and why your TM database is your property that should always be exportable from your vendor.
