Hi Francis, Great! Now one option (Matxin) has disappeared, just to be substituted by a new option: MOLTO. The later seems very interesting, but I haven't found anything to download.
My intention is to create a small system for translation of blogs. I would start in a very limited domain. I have tested Flavius, but I am not satisfied with the translation quality. I suppose the main reason for the very bad translations of the pair SE - FR is that Flavius first translates to EN, and then to FR. The ability to use word-lists and TMs doesn't help in the present version of Flavius (because of the interim translation to English). The ability to edit the automatic translation is great, but not if you have to change almost everything.
