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 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.

Software programs that use translation memories are sometimes known as translation memory managers (TMM) or translation memory systems (TM systems, not to be confused with a Translation management system (TMS), which is another type of software focused on managing process of translation).

Translation memories are typically used in conjunction with a dedicated computer assisted translation (CAT) tool, word processing program, terminology management systems, multilingual dictionary, or even raw machine translation output.

Chinese: ZH HK & ZH TW

Some customers often ask us to translate English to Chinese Traditional. Then we will follow to ask if it is for Hong Kong or Taiwan? Why we ask this? Most customers think they are the same, but it is confirmed here again, they have difference!

ZH HK and ZH TW had been evolving in their own ways in the past century, and developed a great number of terms unique to their language environment. This is especially the case in modern documents. Some examples are for reference.

These two styles of writings are mutually intelligible. It’s OK for the HK people to read Taiwan-style Chinese text or for the Taiwan people to read HK-style text – they can understand the content without any problem, but that won’t make them as comfortable as reading the text in their own variety style.

So let us know your readers residing in either HK or Taiwan before starting translation!

3 steps may spark your idea of games' localization

1. Think Global from Day 1

Thinking globally for your game from day one is important, both in terms of product design and business development. Bringing your games to the world shouldn’t just be an afterthought.

2. Know that Chinese Players care about translation style

In China, there are many issues you have to cope with: censorship, player habits, competitors, lax copyright enforcement, and so on. But, a few clever strategies, based on a careful observation of player preferences in China, can help you reach new players. To figure out which is the most popular translation style is a good start in bringing your product closer to Chinese users.

3. Get the Perfect Chinese Translation for Your Game Name

The name shouldn’t just be a direct phonetic translation—it should be something that will be memorable, appealing, and easy to pronounce for Chinese customers. Quote a Chinese idiom, having a good name translation is like "getting the dragon a pair of eyes".
