Using translation memory and glossaries in XTM
Translation memory and terminology are where localization quality and cost really improve, and [XTM](https://saaskart.co/software/xtm) includes translation memory and terminology. Translation memory reuses previously approved translations, so repeated phrases are not paid for or re-reviewed twice, and your product sounds consistent release after release. Build a glossary of brand and product terms early, with do-not-translate entries for names, and enforce it so every linguist uses the same wording. In XTM you can seed the memory by importing past translations before you start. Over time the memory does more of the work, leverage rises, and turnaround shrinks. Teams that neglect TM and glossaries end up paying for the same sentences again and shipping inconsistent copy across screens.
