able to get suggestions based on older strings while translating offline ...

Thanks for the explanation :)

I thought that LibO already does that for us?


Not really; Pootle can create a terminology file which you can then edit. Terminology is mostly a word-by-word aide to have consistent terms in your texts and can be used in Pootle itself (as well as in many offline editors).

Translation Memory Database (TM) works with one or many words (segments) so that one can have suggestions on longer text strings - some translation software lets you decide how close matches you want as suggestions, and to construct rules about word order and such.

Normally I work with several different TM's; one for business texts, another for UI-strings and Help, and a specific one for networking jargon. Depends on your language and workflow.

You can create those TM's with some of the Translate Toolkit on the CLI (e.g. po2tmx); you can also do it with some of the offline-editors which either let you add all opened files to the TM or even are capable to parse through a folder structure of choice.
This is where it can be handy to keep archives of older files.
