Training For Technical Translators: An Interview With Uwe Muegge, Marta Chereshnovska

The Best Of Two Worlds. Integrating Machine Translation Into Standard Translation Memories. A Universal Approach Based On The Tmx Standard, Uwe Muegge

This new interest is evident in the fact that many organizations and individuals actually use MT for various translation purposes. In addition, many institutions training language professionals take MT seriously enough to offer classes in MT theory and practice.
