Concept
Translators rarely translate completely new documents that are unrelated to text they have seen before. More often, a translator may recall examples of translations for an idiom or domain-specific expression but be unable to locate the source material to confirm his suspicions. In these situations, a memory of good translations easily accessible would be an ideal aid to the translator.

Components
AppTek Translation memory is comprised of three components. The first component of this is the dynamic lexicons that are used to align and index translated text. The second component is the main database, which is used to store pre-translated text. The database can support multiple language pairs and multiple domain classification for pre-translated text.

Functions
AppTek Translation Memory is designed to deliver state-of-the-art functionality and enhances translators productivity and throughput. The system has the ability to map entire phrases or sentences for specific contextual use. Furthermore, the system utilizes dynamic monolingual lexicons for automatic sentence alignment and displays source sentences aligned with the target translation.

The AppTek Translation Memory system delivers the following capabilities:
Indexes complete or segmented sentences.
Creation of word and phrase match using a bilingual morphology analyzer.
Alignment and mapping is performed on a word-by-word basis.
Auto alignment option.
Customization to each translator and editor style.
Many-to-one and one-to-many word alignment can also be done, i.e. idioms and multiword terms.
Elimination of noise words, e.g. the, a, an, etc.
Intuitive user interface for fast and easy manual sentence alignment.
Automatic bilingual translation memory creation when adding sentences to translation memory.
Use of exact match and partial or block match techniques.
Multiple language pairs and multiple domains.
Document management functionality.
