Abstract
This case study looks at machine translation at Baan Development in the Netherlands. This company has successfully combined machine translation with translation memory, software used to store and manage terminology usage on an enterprise-wide basis. Much of the challenge of implementing MT rests as much on the human as on the technical side. For machine translation to be viable in the long term, the post-editors, who review the machine's output, need to receive extensive coaching and training, if they are to support the effort.
