Concluding Remarks

MiMo2 is an experiment in the application of reversible unification grammars to MT. Every translation relation is uniformly defined by a series of three unification grammars, following Landsbergen's hypothesis [26] that translation is a symmetric relation. Computationally, the system is to be characterized as reversible and declarative.

The current prototype translates a significant subset of news text sentences between the languages Dutch, English and Spanish. Current research includes quantification, modification, coordination and verb/noun collocations. Extensive research is furthermore required on topics related to discourse. The sentence is the unit of translation in the current prototype, which leaves us with problems like pronoun resolution.
