Compendium of Translation Software
Compendium of translation software: a directory of machine translation systems and computer-aided translation support tools.
Compiled by John Hutchins with the assistance of Walter Hartmann and Etsuo Ito, and published
twice every year (the first edition appeared in 2000). This comprehensive directory of current commercial
systems covers machine translation products (for all user categories), translation memory systems,
translator workstations, localisation support tools, alignment tools, terminology management systems,
electronic dictionaries, online translation services, etc. It includes only systems and tools currently available
and on general sale, and it does not include research systems, or superseded systems, or announced
but not yet available systems, or older versions of current systems. For each product the information
includes vendor's name, system type, version number (if any), language coverage, hardware and software
requirements, dictionaries, any special features, prices (if known), and sources of information.
There are indexes of companies (with addresses, email information and web sites), languages and translation support
tools. The current edition can be accessed from the
EAMT website,
and earlier editions can be found on
John Hutchins' website
Machine Translation Archive
The Machine Translation Archive is an electronic repository
of articles, books and papers in the field of machine translation and computer-based translation technology.
The archive was launched in early 2004. Its initial aim is to cover comprehensively publications since 2000,
mainly from conference proceedings. Papers from previous years are being added at regular intervals,
primarily publications not easily obtainable from libraries and other sources. The archive has indexes for
authors (including all joint authors), journals, languages, methodologies and techniques, organizations and
affiliations, personal websites, and systems and project names. Additions and suggestions are welcomed.
