    What is Translation Memory?

    Definition

    Translation Memory is a database of previously translated text segments and their translations. It allows translators to reuse past translations, ensuring consistency and accelerating localization projects. Translation Memory tools speed up translation work and reduce costs by avoiding retranslating the same content.
