| THE
BEST TECHNOLOGY FOR TRANSLATIONS OF QUALITY |
| The success of a tremendous technological challenge enables
you to benefit the quality and power of SYSTRAN on your computer. Technological
pioneer and leader of the automatic translation since more than 25 years,
in fact SYSTRAN was, until now, only available for important computer systems,
which were the only able to take advantage of its enormous dictionaries
and the precision of its linguistic analysis. Also, only users who were
able to connect to those machines, as the European Community, the NASA
or the CIA, were enjoying until now the quality of SYSTRAN. The increasing
power of processors which were equipping microcomputers and the technical
progress in the circuit of applications make now those characteristics
on PC more accessible. The transition is coming with improvement which
adapted SYSTRAN entirely to the way of working with office automation environment
on the top list of developments we can quote its capacity of preserving
text layout as well the possibility to enrich with terms and expressions
of your specialty. From now, quality, power and flexibility are important
words which make SYSTRAN the best professional solution for excellent automatic
translation on computer. |

| A MULTISPECIALISED
DICTIONARY |
| The knowledge of SYSTRAN by professionals can be recognized
immediately by the precision and richness of its dictionaries. Always enriched
and refined since 25 years, SYSTRAN dictionaries contain not only current
vocabulary but also specialized terms of great areas of professional life.
As an example, the French/English dictionary is an important corpus of
more than 360 000 data covering 20 specialties. Dictionaries include words
in their intrinsic sense as well as in their expression sense. For example,
SYSTRAN translate the names "coup" and "pied" taken individually by "blow"
and "foot" respectively, but it will recognize the expression "coup de
pied" to translate it by "kick". |

| SOPHISTICATED
LINGUISTIC ANALYSIS |
| How, over the vocabulary choice, to understand and reconstruct
the grammatical structure of the sentences to translate? How, with this
analysis, get ride of syntactic ambiguities? The answer is in the level
of SYSTRAN analyzer which is the real translation control center. The SYSTRAN
"intelligence" is located at the level of the grammatical analyzer, where
the synthesis of results given by the most sophisticated and pragmatic
linguistic models, pragmatism accrued by the automatic translation comparison
of millions of pages with the final texts. If globally SYSTRAN technology
has been certified, it was because of the unique algorithms of the grammatical
analyzer |

| AN
IMPRESSIVE SPEED |
| One of the advantage of automatic translation is the gain
of time in comparison with human translation. The speed of translation
is then one of the essential measures which gives the possibility to evaluate
the automatic translation software. By choosing a 32-bit architecture,
SYSTRAN benefits of the most adapted structure for speed. Porting from
large systems has tried to keep the strenght of mainframes : possibility
to load dictionaries in RAM, an extremely complex task for SYSTRAN because
of its dictionary size. It was successful, which explains the exceptional
translation times obtained, which could exceed 300 pages an hour. |

| A
PERSONALIZED SOFTWARE |
| SYSTRAN adapts itself to your way of writing and your vocabulary.
In fact, it keeps the layout of your documents with filters which enables
to reproduce the layout and the font styles used in the texts coming from
many software and notably MS Word. For the vocabulary, the presence of
a personal dictionary allows you to modify the translation chose by SYSTRAN,
either to add words or expressions that you want. The addition of words
and expressions is executed very fast giving their translation and indicating
also their grammatical nature, in order to apply agreement rules correctly
during the translation.
