Russian to English Machine Translators

[james.g.barnes@att.net]

Good morning, all.

I am interested if anyone has used one of the Russian to 
English machine translation software packages.  I 
volunteer for a foundation that works a Russian 
institute, and we are looking for an easier way to 
surmount the language barrier.

I know that MT will not solve all problems, but would be 
interested in the experiences that any of you have with 
such packages.

I am particularly interested in how well the software 
has performed for technical/medical communications.

We have access to skilled human translators.  We are 
looking at this software as a screening method so that 
we can utilize the people translators more effectively.

Thanks,
