Translation Memory (TM)
Definition
A database that stores previously translated source-target segment pairs. When a new text contains segments similar to ones already translated, the TM suggests the previous translation, improving consistency and reducing cost. TMs are stored in TMX format for interoperability.
How this shows up in leapCAT
During analysis, existing TM is searched for reusable translations. After delivery, completed translations are stored back into TM for future projects.
