SDL Language Analysts and global linguistic teams work closely with Developers to invoke proper terminology usage utilizing specialized SDL tools like SDL MultTerm. Translation Memory (TM) By collaborating with SDL, Developers enjoy the benefits of industry-leading technology like SDL Trados, used to leverage translation memory. Translation Memory, or TM, is a type of internal database that stores text segments previously translated. At the beginning of any project, the content, whether it be source strings or documents, are cross-referenced against this database to identify repetitions and previously translated content. If the system finds a match or fuzzy match, that word or phrase automatically incurs a lower cost. We leverage these TMs across departments and geographies, in turn improving consistency, reducing costs and speeding turnaround. We keep this data secure and confidential; this your IP.
