CONCLUSION
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> The system described is not, of course, entirely original. It draws on ideas from University colleagues and others such as Kay, Boitet, Lippman, Andreyewski, Wright, and Brinkmann. But it does represent an important ~hift in direction from past years of research on ITS at Brigham Young University . It is an integration of a machine-translation system and a terminology aid system, with the final translated text being produced on a microcomputer in a distributed network.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> 220 AX. MELBY The author's major motivations for pursuing this system are to provide a useful translator aids system and to create an appropriate vehicle for machine translation research. Fortunately, given the framework of this paper, those two goals are Compatible. A significant additional advantage is that the usefulness of the translator aids component (levels one and two) will facilitate obtaining serious user feedback during the development of the machine translation component (level three).</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2"> 1There are three groups doing work on machine-assisted translation in Prove, Utah, U.S.A. Two are commercial endeavors (Weidner and ALPS), and the third, the one described in this paper, is an academic research project at Brigham Young University. All three groups include researchers who participated in the development of ITS version one, yet a11 three are independent organizations.</Paragraph>
