A '''translation memory''' ('''TM''') is a database that stores "segments", which can be sentences, paragraphs or sentence-like units (headings, titles or elements in a list) that have previously been translated, in order to aid human [[Translation|translators]]. The translation memory stores the [[source text]] and its corresponding translation in language pairs called “translation units”. Individual words are handled by terminology bases and are not within the domain of TM.{{citations missing|date=November 2022}}
