Update on MASTOR
|
| |
Washington, USA (Strategy): The U.S. Department of Defense has been trying to develop easy-to-use computer based language translators for decades. Until September 11, 2001, the main thrust was for devices that could be used to translate the enormous quantities of foreign language stuff that American intel agencies acquire daily. Much progress has been made. Last year, IBM sent dozens of MASTOR Arab/English translation software systems to Iraq. IBM is also developing a MASTOR system that handles Chinese/English. The U.S. government is expected to be one of the largest customers for this, especially intelligence agencies.
