An almah is a woman of childbearing age who has not yet had a child.
The Jews typically understand this Hebrew word as being the feminine version of the Hebrew "elem" - which means young man. Therefore "almah" is a young woman.
The Christians typically go with the Septuagint which translates "almah" as "parthenos" which was usually used for the virgins consecrated in a Temple. As a result, Christians read "almah" as referring to a virgin woman as opposed to merely a young woman.
