Users of translation software

In addition to developers, the Monitor carried a number of profiles of end-users of MT and translation software

• CompuServe looking at MT, Sep-Oct 1992
• Making MT Work, May-June 1994 (cover story)
• A Heavy METAL User, May-June 1994
  • Whither METAL
• Mendez Rolls its Own, Jan-Feb 1994
• Lightbulbs and Logos, Jan/Feb 1995
• CompuServe likes Online MT, Jan/Feb 1995
• An Enthusiastic MT User, Nov-Dec 1994
  • Japanese MT: Not a Trivial Pursuit

Something of a hybrid, due to academic research background of the developers and the commercial nature of the sponsor, was the Danish PaTrans system:

• The Spirit of Eurotra, Jan-Feb 1994 (cover story)
  • Center for Sprogteknologi: Thriving in Denmark

• The Finnish Formula, May-June 1994 (cover story)
  • Nokia: Kielikone’s First MT Customer

The following article (actually a series of articles) dedicated to translation technology in Japan took up an entire issue and covered research groups, big commercial developers, and end-users:

• Focus on Japan, Sep/Oct 1993 (cover story)

Another hard-to-categorize company was GSI-Erli, which had its hand in activities ranging from linguistic research and MT to information retreival applications for industry.

• GSI-Erli, Sept-Oct 1994 (cover story)
