Automated Translation at Grenoble University

The authors thank Dr. Slocum for the opportunity to present the work on machine translation at Grenoble. The plan he has proposed for the contributions to this special issue was certainly a very good starting point, as a common frame to present various systems around the world. It is, however, inevitable that we could not completely fit into it, so that we have sometimes taken some liberty for which we hope to be excused.
