How useful are translation memory systems for specialised translations?

Professional translators are often faced with tight deadlines today, while still needing to guarantee the highest quality. As a result, translation software has steadily gained importance in recent years. These so-called Translation Memory Systems (TMS) have become almost indispensable in the world of translation. But what benefits do these tools actually offer in terms of time efficiency, quality, and cost-effectiveness? Can they make the translator's job easier and enable faster translations without compromising quality? Are there also problems that may arise from the use of these aids? This work aims to provide answers to these and other questions related to TMS through a practical experiment and by utilizing the software of two currently leading providers. This book is aimed at both.
