	A term base in memoQ is like a glossary or a dictionary but with considerable additional options.

This means that not only the "best" or alternative choices for translating a term can be recorded, but also the "bad choices" to be avoided generally or in a specific project. It is possible to recognize these forbidden terms by their black marking in the memoQ translation results and to detect their use when a QA check is run.
