    19. 2009 MATI Annual Conference History "Disdain on the side of the professional translators for the hilarious and stupid MT mistakes gave birth to a new variant of MT called translation memory (TM). TM started off as a lower-level feature of commercial MT systems (...). But the success of TM came with dedicated products such as IBM TM/2 and Trados. The marketing message was tuned in to what the professional translation industry wanted to hear: "Forget about MT; it doesn't work well. Instead, use our TM product because it leaves you in full control of the process." Jaap van der Meer in MultiLingual 71 (2005) 19 (CC) Creative Commons. Some Rights Reserved September 12, 2009
    20. 2009 MATI Annual Conference History "The message worked well, within a period of 10 to 15 years, TM products have found their way to the workstations of more than 50,000 translators in the world. But the message had also caused a "cognitive disorder" in the translation industry, namely that TM is good and MT is evil, foregoing the fact that TM is just a new variant of MT (...). The damage is done, however, and it will take years to convince the community of business translators that post-editing fuzzy matches from TM databases is, in fact, not different from post-editing fuzzy matches from any other MT system."
