A translation memory, or TM, is a software program designed as an aid for human translators. Translation memories are also known as translation memory managers (TMM).

Translation memories are typically used in conjunction with a word processing program, a terminology management system, a multilingual dictionary, and even raw machine translation output.

A translation memory consists of a database of text segments in a source language and their translations in one or more target languages. These segments can be individual words or multiword phrases.

Research indicates that many companies producing multilingual documentation are using translation memory systems
