Global companies that want to expand their market reach by communicating in multiple formats and languages need to manage their continuous flow of translation work in a structured, scalable and automated way. A Translation Management System (TMS) can support this by automating many parts of the human translation process and maximise translator efficiency. The ideal is to automate all repeatable and non-essential work that can be done by software/systems and leaving only the creative work of translation and review to be done by human resources.

Most systems include at least two types of technology: workflow technology to automate the translation process and linguistic technology to aid the translator.

The process management technology is used to monitor source language content for changes and route the content to various translators and reviewers.

Linguistic technology generally includes translation memory and terminology database, and may also integrate machine translation technology.

• A Translation memory is a database of all previously translated sentences. While a translator performs translation, he or she is automatically prompted with similar sentences from the memory that were previously translated.
• A terminology database is a glossary that contains specific words and phrases and their context-appropriate translations.
  
• A machine translation system is a program that uses natural language processing technology to automatically translate a text from one language to another.
