Symbolic language translation

Published:03 March 1959Publication History

ABSTRACT

Although interest in the problems and development of techniques for machine translation of languages has been growing in the United States, no organized program comparable to that of the Russians has been developed. In that country, teams of specialists have been working in this area for several years. Announcement of a "breakthrough" in the field comparable to that of Sputnik in space travel is not to be unexpected from them.
