How useful are translation memory systems for specialised translations?

Nowadays, professional translators are often confronted with tight deadlines, but they still have to guarantee the highest quality. As a result, translation software has become increasingly important in recent years. These so-called translation memory systems (TMS) are often indispensable in the world of translation. But what are the actual benefits of such tools in terms of time efficiency, quality and economy? Can they facilitate the translator's work and enable faster translation without compromising quality? Are there also problems that can arise through the use of these tools? The present work is intended to provide answers to these and other questions related to TMS using a practical experiment and the software of two currently leading providers. This book turns around in equal measure.
