Introducing CAT in The European Commission's Translation Service

.
European Commission. Tanslation Service, (2001)

Abstract

The European Union is at the eve of a new series of enlargements. The language problem is going to be one of the key issue. The number of combinations will raise form the original 24 in 1950 to a hardly ever manageable 462 language pair. A corresponding increase in translation staff is not an option. Other solutions will have to be investigated: outsourcing, reduction of working languages, two level language status and subsidiarity are only a few of the scenarios that can be taken into consideration The Translation Services of the European Institutions have been looking for technical, computer-based solutions to attain an equation between the dramatic increase in language combinations and the limited raise in human resources: Computer Assisted Translation.
