Bruno Herrera on 15 Apr 12Across translation memory - a database that stores previously translated segments allowing reuse of previously translated text passages, but also serving as a basis for assisting authors in the consistent creation of source texts, and for assuring the quality of both the source text and the translations. As a learning system, Across translation memory (TM) has to be filled initally either by importing existing translation memory data or by performing an "alignment" in which source and target text pairs are analyzed and matching sentences are added to the translation memory. After that, the database grows with each new translation. New sentences within translation jobs are identified automatically and added to the translation memory either directly or after a quality check. By saving every translated sentence in the database, new sentences that need to be translated can be compared with this database. The purpose is to reuse as many previously translated sentences as possible. This speeds up the actual translation, improves the consistency, and saves money. Across translation memory assists with your translations As a basis for automatic pre-translation of sentences that are 100% matches As a basis for translators in case of partial matches As a basis for concordance searches (i.e., when researching the context in which a word or an expression is used) As a basis for translation-oriented authoring, in which the source text author selects wording variations for which a translation is already available.
