Corporate Translation Memory

Using the ETP you will have your own enterprise corporate translation memory. The system will store matched translation pairs of text as translations are completed. Each time a new translation is required the ETP will check for a match of a paragraph or string against the translation memory database. The system also uses fuzzy matching meaning that if there is a close match it will still return the translation and lower the time and cost it will take the translator to complete the job. The translation memory viewer allows you view stored translation matches.
