Welcome to our blog! We are very excited to bring to you news and insights into work (and fun) at the Machine Translation (MT) Group within Microsoft Research. \"Hello We have great mix of researchers, developers, testers, program managers, linguists, designers and product managers working on MT here, and we are pleased to launch this blog as a way to connect with customers, partners and other friends of MT. We hope this will provide greater insight into the work we do and who we are, and we are very excited to be talking to you. <\/P>

Machine Translation (MT<\/A>), to those that don\u2019t know it, is exactly as it sounds: using a \u201cmachine\u201d (in most cases computer software) to translate text from one human language to another. There have been many different approaches developed in this area and results have been improving over time. You will hear from members of the team that have been working on this technology and hear about how the research breakthroughs are coming to a desktop near you. We will be introducing you to the team building the new Microsoft Translator<\/A> and you will get some background on the technology used for the site.<\/P>

RSS and Atom feeds are available for all posts or specific categories on this blog. For now anonymous blog comments are under moderation \u2013 I am hopeful that as long as spam levels remain low we can keep it that way.<\/P>

Once again, thank you for visiting the blog! Cheers!<\/P>
