Translation Memory

Translation Memory (TM) keeps a record of your reviewed translations and offers them back whenever the same or similar text comes up again, in the same project or in any other project in your organization. If you maintain more than one software localization project, it keeps terminology consistent across them and saves your translators from translating the same phrase twice.

Managing translation memories

Translation memories belong to your organization and can be shared by any of its projects. Every organization comes with a Default Translation Memory that is linked to all of its projects out of the box. The organization owner and admins can create additional translation memories, for example one per product line or client. The project owner and project admins then decide which translation memories each project uses.

Bringing translations from another tool? The organization owner and admins can import TMX files into any translation memory, so your existing work starts paying off in Localizely right away.

Translation memory settings per project

Each project decides how it uses the organization's translation memories. In the project settings, the project owner and admins choose which translation memories the project draws suggestions from, and which one receives the project's newly reviewed translations.
