At last year's conference, which attracted an international audience, a number of delegates made suggestions for the following year's event. The response to our call for papers was overwhelming. Machine translation is freely available, via the internal electronic mail system, to all staff working in the European Institutions. The machine translation help desk supplies a number of back-up services to a growing population of users. This paper will look at initiatives of University of Brighton and Fachhochschule Flensburg to give their students first-hand experience of evaluating a system in situ.
CAT tools are of interest to both researchers and translators.
They are being increasingly integrated in the education of future translators. LCC is a project supported by the European Commission. The objective of the project is to support small and medium sized enterprises in optimising their production and management of multilingual information. Kielikone MT has produced a commercial MT product, TranSmart, which is in use in several major Finnish corporations. The main advantage of this system is that it allows the simultaneous usage of different translation methods, like TM and MT in parallel, which is controlled by a sophisticated process management system.
