Translation Memory Management
Make better use of approved previous translations to improve consistency, speed, and long-term value.
Translation memories store previously translated and approved segments, making them available for reuse when the same or similar content appears again. Well-maintained translation memories reduce the effort required on recurring content, support consistency across related documents, and help organizations get better value from their translation investment over time.
Previous Work That Continues to Deliver Value
A translation memory accumulates approved translations from every project. Over time, it becomes a significant asset — reducing the volume of new translation required for recurring content, supporting consistent terminology and phrasing, and providing a reference that helps translators maintain the established voice of the organization.
Translation memories are only as valuable as they are accurate and well-maintained. Memories containing incorrect translations, misaligned segments, or outdated content can introduce errors rather than prevent them. We provide translation memory management services that keep this resource clean, current, and useful.
What's Included
A complete approach to translation memory management
Translation Memory Creation
Creation of a structured translation memory from new or existing content, establishing a foundation for consistent reuse across future projects.
Cleaning and Alignment
Review and correction of existing translation memories to remove incorrect, outdated, or misaligned segments that would otherwise introduce errors into future work.
Deduplication
Removal of duplicate and near-duplicate segments that create inconsistency and reduce the efficiency of the translation memory in production.
Ongoing Maintenance
Regular review and update of the translation memory to incorporate approved revisions and remove content that no longer reflects current terminology or positioning.
Project Integration
Coordination of translation memory access and update processes across translation projects so that new approved content is captured consistently.
Reuse Analysis
Analysis of translation memory match rates across content types to identify opportunities for greater reuse and more efficient translation workflows.
Process
How it works
Translation Memory Audit
We review the current state of existing translation memories — their completeness, accuracy, alignment, and the volume of usable versus problematic content.
Cleaning and Correction
Incorrect, outdated, and misaligned segments are identified and either corrected or removed to produce a reliable, accurate memory.
Alignment and Deduplication
Existing translated documents are aligned where memories are incomplete, and duplicate segments are resolved to improve consistency.
Integration into Workflow
The cleaned and maintained memory is integrated into the production workflow so new translations automatically access and contribute to the memory.
Maintenance Planning
A maintenance schedule is agreed to ensure the memory is updated as new approved translations are produced and outdated content is removed.
Why Randa Translation
What sets our approach apart
Quality Before Reuse
We clean and verify translation memories before they are used in production to prevent incorrect content from propagating through new work.
Long-Term Asset Management
Translation memories are treated as a strategic asset that grows in value when properly maintained and integrated into recurring workflows.
Reuse Rate Analysis
We help organizations understand the actual reuse value of their translation memories and where investment in maintenance delivers the most benefit.
Connected to Terminology
Translation memory management works alongside terminology management to ensure both resources support each other consistently.
