How are matches created in a translation memory?

Translation Memory matches are created by automatically comparing new text segments with stored translations. The higher the match, the more suitable the translation suggestion.

Matches are created when a Translation Memory automatically compares new sentences or text segments with previously stored translations.

For each new segment, the system checks whether identical or similar content already exists in the Translation Memory. The higher the match, the more suitable the translation suggestion. This means that existing translations can be reused directly or used as a basis for further editing.

This enables companies to benefit from:

  • Automatic reuse: Previously translated content does not need to be created again.
  • Faster translation processes: Suitable translation suggestions are available immediately.
  • Greater consistency: Recurring phrases and specialised terms are used consistently.
