Translation Memory
My Language Connection uses translation memories to incorporate previous translations and ensure strict adherence to your business terminology.
Translation Memory
A translation memory saves every translated sentence in a database. When translating any piece, a translation memory software will scan its database and look for any prior content similar or identical as the current content. Previously translated sentences will be reused, so any paragraphs that were the same would automatically be translated as they were in the past. Once the translation is approved as correct, it will be saved in the memory and used in the same manner for all future translations.
Translation memory is very effective when there are high levels of repetition in the content being translated. For example, if you have lots of business or technical content to be translated with similar or exact messaging, using translation memory will help improve the efficiency of the translation process. Other benefits of having a translation memory are that no sentences are translated twice and there’s a consistent use of your linguistic style and technical terminology which guarantees high-quality translations.
At My Language Connection, we will advise when it will be relevant for your translation project to create and use a translation memory for increased productivity and reduced translation costs.

There are even times when a simple word in one language will have no real equivalent in another language -- requiring instead, a not-so-simple explanation. And when you’re dealing with translation, this can make a major difference. Page Layout Whether it’s a...
What makes a translator qualified?
Whilst there is no universally-recognised international certification for translators and professional linguists, most nations have established standards for translation, whether by law, or through semi-official bodies such as the UK’s Chartered Institute of Linguists, also known as the IoL. This is a practical as well as a cultural necessity, since accurate translation is crucial in business, as well as matters of civil, criminal and...
