Abstract
In probably the most extensive survey of MT use ever performed, some forty users have reported directly on their experience. This paper explores their responses. Many are favourable. What are they doing? Are they language professionals? What is MT for? ‘PCMT’ — affordable MT software for your desktop — has transformed the user profile. One vendor has sold over 200,000 MT packages at under $100.
