Abstract

Machine translation (MT) clearly arouses considerable interest beyond the ranks of those directly concerned with developing systems or operating them. This volume brings together papers on machine translation, ranging from an evaluation of machine translation, the limitations of computers as translation tool, computerized term banks and translation, to the translator workstation, and current research in machine translation.
