-
Have you ever completed a lengthy translation and wondered if you have translated the same phrase consistently?
- Or, you received a TM and glossary from a client and want to know if the memory contains the correct terms before you start the job.
- Or, you are tasked with performing post-translation QC and wish to proceed more quickly and accurately

Example 2: in most European languages, the decimal separator is a comma not a period. This screenshot shows how to check if this rule has been consistently followed:
