Abstract
This paper presents an overview of our research activities on machine translation conducted at Toyohashi University of Technology. I focus on how to make machine translation useful for real world business, not mentioning quality improvement of translation engines. I present here three approaches for making machine translation practical; i.e. simplifying the Japanese source text, extracting and listing salient expressions and their equivalents in a document and enhancing the post-editing process. This study is important from both a business perspective and an academic perspective.
