Translation memory is a tool to help translators recycle previous translations to improve speed and consistency. A translation memory tool is built around a database of translated terms. Each time the translator translates a segment, the tool "remembers" it; then if the translator comes across a similar sentence, the tool will suggest it to the translator. Software (44) 1.

OSCAR (Open Standards for Container/Content Allowing Re-use) is the LISA Special Interest Group responsible for its definition. The purpose of TMX is to allow easier exchange of translation memory data between tools and/or translation vendors with little or no loss of critical data during the process. 8.
