What are translation memory tools or TM?

The main function of CAT tools is to save translated text in a database called Translation Memory (TM) so that it can be re-used within the same text or even in others.

For example, special CAT tool functions find all the text segments that don't match 100% with previously translated text, and this enables the translator to make the necessary modifications more quickly and consistently.

The use of TM saves time and money for both our clients and our team of professionals . In fact, lower rates apply to segments or paragraphs that were previously translated.

It is important to note that TM and CAT tools do not replace translatorsstyle and terminology consistency .
