Word Stemming

The translation memory (TM) and terminology database (TD) features are key technologies that companies use to reduce their translation costs. As the amount of content increases within both of these repositories, the savings in translation costs also increases. The extent to which the content can be leveraged directly affects the customer’s return on investment (ROI). In an ongoing effort to increase the value of WorldServer to its customers, SDL continuously seeks to enhance both its TM and TD technologies. One enhancement is the use of stemming technologies to improve the fuzzy matching and fuzzy scoring processes.
