The way you are talking about translation memories, it sounds like it's
either a standard concept or process in the localization industry, or some
sort of capability provided by a specific tool. I have never worked w/ a
localization project, but I may need to someday. So I was wondering if you
could give a little context for those of us that have never heard of TM? Is
it a specific functionality provided by something like Trados? Is it a
tool-independant process or concept?
just curious,
brent
