China became the fourth country that began machine translation (MT) research following USA, UK, and the Soviet Union.
What's more, IMC/EC MT system which was developed by Computer Institute of Chinese Academy of Sciences has further made great advancement.
Meanwhile, the practical MT system MT-IT-EC specific to communication domain was also striking to notice, for it has greatly improved the efficiency and productivity in the issue of publications.
It is evident to see that since Chinese opened up to the outside world and joined the WTO, the vigorous import and export trade generate opportunities for machine translation to transfer technical terms of products into the readable target information.
Thus, strong evidence illustrates the promising field of machine translation in the future market of China.
