Abstract
This paper presents a snapshot of how the Commission's MT system (EC SYSTRAN) is used today and a glimpse of how that picture will change tomorrow. It looks in turn at: the origins of the system; how it is accessed; who requests MT and why; how users can influence the quality of output; the Rapid Post-editing Service; and the latest usage statistics, which augur well for the future. The paper closes with a look at that future, touching on the move to a new computer platform and plans for new language pairs, concluding that after twenty-five years of development, MT has become an integral part of the Commission's working environment.- Anthology ID:
