More and more Translation Memory (TM) systems nowadays are fortified with machine translation (MT) techniques to enable them to propose a translation to the translator when no match is found in his TM resources. The system attempts this by assembling a combination of terms from its terminology database, translations from its memory, and even portions of them. This paper reviews the most popular commercial TM systems with integrated MT techniques and explores their usefulness based on the perceived practical benefits brought to their users. Feedback from translators reveals a variety of attitudes towards machine translation, with some supporting and others contradicting several points of conventional wisdom regarding the relationship between machine translation and human translators.
