Poul Andersen, Annelise Bech · DSpace repository (University of Tartu) · 1988
Eurotra is a research and development project in machine translation sponsored by the European C o mmission and the EEC member states.The project was launched in 1984, and its aim is to stimulate research in computational linguistics in Europe, and to produce a running prototype for a m u l t i lingual machine translation system towards 1990.This prototype will translate between any two of the nine official languages of the Communities w i t h i n the subject field of information technology and have a dictionary of approximately 20.000 entries per language.Most of what we shall say has been inspired b y our wo r k as Eurotra researchers, however, the views p r e s e n t e d in this paper do not necessarily all reflect the official Eurotra position.A c k n o w l e d g e m e n t .We are indebted to those of our colleagues who have been investigating transfer problems for stimulating and thoughtprovoking papers on the topic.
