You can keep terminology consistent in an easier way-> OmegaT matches  
the words to translate to a glossary you provide.

OmegaT automatically translates identical sentences and proposes you  
translations based on similarity with what you have already  
translated (or with reference translations you use).

When you work with tagged files (HTML, ODF etc) OmegaT "protects" the  
tags to that you can't make a mess of the file when translating it  
(unlike when you translate directly inside the code). You can still  
make a mess though :) But it is easier to clean because OmegaT will  
tell you exactly which tags you maimed :)

etc.
