The foreign language challenge in the USG and machine translation.

Kathleen Egan


Abstract
The internet is no longer English only. The data is voluminous and the number of proficient linguists cannot match the day to day needs of several government agencies. Handling foreign languages is not limited to translating documents but goes beyond the journalistic written formats. Military, diplomatic and official interactions in the US and abroad require more than one or two foreign language skills. The CHALLENGE is both managing the user’s expectations and stimulating new areas for MT research and development.
