Translation Memory (TM) Management is a smarter way to manage Translation Memory so that you have a cleaner, more accurate TM database. Here is all you need to know about it!
Translation Memory is a piece of software within Transifex. Its job is pretty simple. All it does is store completed translations in its database, and if you have auto fill-up enabled, it automatically translates similar translations so that your translators won’t have to.
