[Mt-list] Seeking opinions on MT

[Donald Z. Osborn]

The following request for input by Localisation Focus was posted on a
localization forum. THinking it may be of interest to some on the MT-list I'm
reposting it after checking with the source. LF by the way is a quarterly
newsletter on localization. See http://lrc.csis.ul.ie/publications/locfocus/

Please mail any comments to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (and not to me as
I'm just an intermediary in this).

For our next issue of Localisation Focus, June 2004, we would like your opinion
on the following statement/proposition:

Breakthroughs have been announced at regular intervals by the developers of
Machine Translation (MT) systems. Some localisation service providers who are
using MT report phenomenal success rates. Others have lost hundreds of
thousands of euro (or Dollars) in their attempt to make MT work for them.

Do you believe that MT is a viable solution for the translation problems faced
by the localisation community?

Opinions/comments/suggestions should be 100-150 words long. Also please include
a 30-40 word profile of yourself/company.
