The TM Survey found that use of TM technology among those surveyed is rapidly maturing and that he majority of respondents use TM for everything they can and are looking at extending TM usage to areas they have not been able to use TM for yet.

Additional findings include the following:

• Early adopters (those having used TM more than five years) tend to have TM asset repositories larger by an order of magnitude than those usign TM for less time.
• Contrary to expectation and preliminary findings, translation volume is not significant in determining how long companies have used TM, but the longer a company has used TM, the greater the amount of its translation work that will be done using TM.
• Users of internal (proprietary) TM tools have TM assets larger than other users, by an order of magnitude.
