Members of the MT community may be interested in
knowing, if they do not always do so, that the German Research Center for
Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) is offering the Logos Machine Translation
System in an open-source derivative known as OpenLogos. OpenLogos
runs on the Linux platform with PostgreSQL and maybe downloaded from http://logos-os.dfki.de/
This open-software offering is being made to
individuals, universities and public institutions free-of-charge, with a view to
its exploitation in both current and new language combinations.
OpenLogos is based upon the long-standing
commercial, rule-driven Logos System owned by GlobalWare AG (Eisennach)

For those interested in knowing about the
underlying linguistic technology of OpenLogos, the article Bernard (Bud)
Scott: The Logos Model: An Historical Perspective. In: Machine Translation 18
(2003), pp. 1-72
provides a comprehensive overview of the Logos approach to machine
translation.
An earlier on-line description of
the linguistic and computational motivations for the Logos Model is available at
