Dear MT-List,
Herewith a reply to Dr. Ingeborg Blank about Systran use in the European
Commission.
Dear Mrs Blank,
We thank you for your interest in the machine translation (MT) system of the
European Commission. This is a fully automatic, multilingual system based on
the SYSTRAN technology. Its dictionaries and programs have been developed
and adapted for internal purposes. The system is used as a translation aid
and administrative support tool by staff at the European Commission and the
other EU institutions and bodies. It is also available to public
administrations in the Member States.
Please find enclosed an exhaustive article (in PDF format) with the title EC
SYSTRAN: THE COMMISSION'S MACHINE TRANSLATION SYSTEM, adapted from a study
by Ian Pigott, a pioneer of MT Development at the Commission as early as
1976. We hope that this informative article will address most of your
questions about MT at the European Commission and the efforts we undertake
to make machine translation as accurate as possible, both lexically and
grammatically. If you have further questions, feel free to contact us.
For the MT Management Team
Sincerely,
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
