Title

¬The proper place of men and machines in language translation

Source

Machine translation. 12(1997) nos.1/2, S.3-23

Year

Abstract

Machine translation stands no chance of filling actual needs for translation because, although there has been progress in relevant areas of computer science, advance in linguistics have not touched the core problems. Cooperative man-machine systems need to be developed, Proposes a translator's amanuensis, incorporating into a word processor some simple facilities peculiar to translation. Gradual enhancements of such a system could lead to the original goal of machine translation
