In fact, for a 400 pages book, the amount of work required from the translator (the author of the book himself) was equivalent to that of typing a few 40 pages. Even if the book subject matter and the pair of languages have some peculiarities, it seems that the same method will be useful in other cases as well, and, more importantly, that this experience is a good motivation for some research to be done on the possible refinements of the method.</Paragraph> </Section> class="xml-element"></Paper>
