Overview

This volume presents the results of a project supported by the European Commission, which demonstrated that it is possible to specify and build working machine-assisted translation and documentation systems to support professional translators and technical writers. This report on the project covers the following issues: elicitation and assessment of user needs; text import and conversion from different systems; remote access to term bases and translation systems; specification of record format for data banks; use of spelling, grammar and style checkers; usability of translation memories; and evaluation of machine-assisted translation systems.
