I know nothing about the specific tool (I use Wordfast), but what I do to handle inflected forms is to enter into the glossary the root form in the source language and the uninflected root in the target language; that way, all I have to do each time is type the inflected ending.
Of course, I realize that doesn't help with things like the root vowel changing (as in German) --- but I still find it helps reduce the number of extra keystrokes required.
Personally, I find my CAT tool's glossary function a lot more useful than the actual translation memory. ;-)
