  Matching and retrieving previously translated segments from a Translation
Memory is the key functionality in Translation Memories systems. However this
matching and retrieving process is still limited to algorithms based on edit
distance which we have identified as a major drawback in Translation Memories
systems. In this paper we introduce sentence encoders to improve the matching
and retrieving process in Translation Memories systems - an effective and
efficient solution to replace edit distance based algorithms.
