It has a Translation Memory (TM) database which stores translated data in the form of source-language and target-language segments. The main characteristic of the Translation memory system is that it allows a translator to reuse the already translated segments while translating a new file. The TM database gets continuously enriched with each subsequent use of the system for translation purposes

This system is made available to all by the Department of Official Language, Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India, free of cost.
