MOLTO is an FP7 European project whose goal is to translate texts between multiple languages in real time with high quality. Patents translation is a case of study where research is focused on simultaneously obtaining a large coverage without loosing quality in the translation. This is achieved by hybridising between a grammar-based multilingual translation system, GF, and a specialised statistical machine translation system. Moreover, both individual systems by themselves already represent a step forward in the translation of patents in the biomedical domain, for which the systems have been trained.
