Lets split TM and terminology suggestions:

1) Terminology - works in Pootle
If you place any terminology file(s) in the Terminology project on 
Pootle then this will happen: any word or substring that appears in the 
current unit that is also in Terminology will appear on the left of your 
editing widget.  This is mostly to ensure consistency in terminology 
choice across the project.

I'd recommend that every language on Pootle do this.

2) Translation Memory - not available in Pootle 2.1
We don't do any TM in Pootle 2.1, so no exact or close matches.  But we 
are implementing something for Pootle 2.2.  You can test it at 
http://test.locamotion.org/

We've been trying to raise funds for this feature for a while now, our 
resources are a bit stretched at the moment though so we've had to scale 
down our vision.  So probably no live TM but as you can see in the test 
server it is quite useful anyway.  Hopefully we'll find some support and 
2.2 will have rock solid TM.

So please play with it an give us your feedback.

So for TM no go for now.  But for terminology please jump right in.
