+Translation memory
+==================
+
+A translation memory, or TM, is a database that stores segments that have been
+previously translated. A translation-memory system stores the words, phrases
+and paragraphs that have already been translated and aid human translators.
+The translation memory stores the source text and its corresponding
+translation in language pairs called "translation units".
