    <Paragraph position="0"> In this paper, we have described a system of translation for locative prepositions that uses Herskovits' idea of the ideal meaning of prepositions and Lakoff's idea of ICM's. While our work does not prove the linguistic and psychological theories on which it is based, it suggests that they can be useful in machine translation. We chose to use conceptual knowledge to deal with the translation of locative prepositions, first, because it provides an elegant solution to the problem, and second, because we believe that conceptual knowledge of the sort that we use could be useful in other cognitive tasks such as story understanding, vision, and robot planning.</Paragraph>
