Abstract
The first part reviews the machine translation research in Macao, including its history, current developments and future directions, with a focus on Portuguese-Chinese MT. The second part presents demonstrations of the word-by-word instant translation system, PCT 3.0, and the sentence-based machine-aided translation system, PCT Assistente 2.0. The third part will focus on the underlying principles and technologies, such as the knowledge representation scheme and the constraint grammar for modeling bilingual text,that have been applied to develop these systems.
