What the E.C. Won’t See – Systran Introduces MT for European Commission Corpus
March 21, 2011
On December 16 last year, the General Court of the European Union determined that the European Commission (E.C.) had violated Systran’s intellectual property and awarded the company €12.01 million. The E.C. promptly shut down its Systran-powered machine translation (MT) portal, posting the following message: “We regret to inform you that, following the ruling of the General Court of 16 December 2010, the service has been temporarily stopped. We are analysing alternatives allowing to restore the service as soon as this is possible.” European Commission staff members with critical translation needs were encouraged to contact the Directorate General for Translation’s Demand Management Unit for alternatives.
