The Tongues speech-to-speech translation system was developed for the US Army chaplains, with fairly stringent constraints on time, budget, and available data. The resulting prototype was required to undergo a quite realistic field test. We describe the development and architecture of the system, the field test, and our analysis of its results. The system performed quite well, especially given its development constraints.
