Editing Translation memory (section)

==Recent trends==
One recent development is the concept of 'text memory' in contrast to translation memory.<ref>[http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2004/01/07/xmltm.html Translating XML Documents with xml:tm]</ref> This is also the basis of the proposed LISA OSCAR standard.<ref>[http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2004/01/07/xmltm.html xml:tm]</ref> Text memory within xml:tm comprises 'author memory' and 'translation memory'. Author memory is used to keep track of changes during the authoring cycle. Translation memory uses the information from author memory to implement translation memory matching. Although primarily targeted at XML documents, xml:tm can be used on any document that can be converted to XLIFF<ref>[http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=xliff XLIFF]</ref> format.

===Second-generation translation memories===
Much more powerful than first-generation TM systems, they include a [[linguistic analysis]] engine, use chunk technology to break down segments into intelligent terminological groups, and automatically generate specific glossaries.
