Abstract

Discusses the use of raw machine translations in an IT research and development environment. Researchers at the German GMD use machine translation as a drafting tool for scientific papers. The language pairs are German to English and English to German. Compares the success of raw machine translations of this material produced on an experimental basis by means of the MT systems LOGOS, METAL and Globallink Power Translator Professional. Results indicate a promising use of machine translation as a drafting tool
