To address the problem of inconsistent terminology, Localization Management Systems (LMS) leverage a term base (glossary), which clearly explains each term and provides a preferred translation. Along with Translation Memory (TM) that allows for partial matches against past translations, a LMS offers functions that help ensure consistency in translations. Sadly, the know-how across engineering teams around localization is rather low, meaning that the existence of term bases, translation memories is not well known. Also, when working with external vendors, companies are not aware of these two artifacts being something that can be requested from the vendor at completion of a translation job and leveraged further.
