Notes

The number of personnel needed for pre- and post-editing, dictionary and grammar enhancement etc., is a factor that must be taken into account when evaluating an MT system. Similarly, the availability of suitably qualified personnel within the organisation can be of importance. If new staff need to be hired, training costs should be taken into account.
