FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
ON TRANSLATION MANAGEMENT
A Translation Memory (TM) is a linguistic database that stores previously translated text segments (source and target language pairs). These stored translations can be reused in future translation projects, improving efficiency, consistency, and reducing costs.
TM works by breaking down text into segments (sentences, phrases, or paragraphs) and matching them with previously translated content. When a translator encounters a similar or identical segment in a new project, the TM suggests the best match, allowing for quick reuse.
Increased Efficiency
- Reduces the time required for translation by reusing existing content.
- Minimizes redundant work and accelerates project turnaround.
Improved Consistency
- Ensures that terminology and style remain uniform across all translations.
- Prevents discrepancies in brand messaging.
Cost Savings
- Reduces the need for repeated translations, cutting costs in large-scale projects.
- Optimizes human effort by leveraging TM and MT.
Enhanced Quality Control
- Enables systematic error detection and correction.
- Provides real-time feedback to translators and editors.
Scalability for Multilingual Projects
- Supports rapid expansion into new languages and markets.
- Enables seamless collaboration among global teams.
✅ Step 1: Segmentation
- The source text is divided into segments (usually sentences or short phrases).
- Each segment is paired with its translated equivalent and stored in the TM.
✅ Step 2: Matching & Retrieval
- When a translator works on a new project, the TM scans for similar or identical segments.
- The TM suggests previous translations that match the new text.
✅ Step 3: Fuzzy Matching
- 100% match: The segment is identical to a stored translation.
- Fuzzy match (50-99%): The segment is similar but may need adjustments.
- No match (0%): The segment does not exist in the TM and requires a new translation.
✅ Step 4: Storing New Translations
- Any newly translated segments are added to the TM for future use.
🎯 1. Improves Translation Speed & Productivity
- Translators can reuse existing translations, reducing workload and turnaround time.
- Large projects with repetitive content (e.g., legal documents, technical manuals) benefit the most.
🎯 2. Enhances Consistency
- Ensures that key terminology and phrases are used consistently across different documents and projects.
- Useful for branding, legal, medical, and technical translations.
🎯 3. Reduces Costs
- Clients are often charged lower rates for repeated or fuzzy-matched segments.
- Less manual work is needed, leading to lower overall translation costs.
🎯 4. Supports Multi-Language Translation
- Once a TM is built, it can be used for translating content into multiple languages while maintaining consistency.
🎯 5. Improves Quality Control
- Translators and reviewers can compare new translations with past ones.
- Helps minimize errors and maintain terminology accuracy.
| Feature | Translation Memory (TM) | Machine Translation (MT) |
|---|---|---|
| Source | Human-translated segments | AI-generated translations |
| Consistency | High (uses past human translations) | May vary (depends on training data) |
| Speed | Faster for repeated content | Instantaneous but may require post-editing |
| Quality | High (human-reviewed content) | Lower without post-editing |
| Best Use Case | Documents with repetitive text (manuals, legal, software) | Large-scale translation with AI post-editing |
TM and MT can be combined by using Machine Translation with Post-Editing (MTPE), where a translator refines AI-generated translations while leveraging TM.
