</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> The XMLTrans transducer was used to successfully convert all the lexical data for the l)icoPro project. There were 3 bilingual dictionairies and one monoligual dictionary totalling 140 Mb in total( average size of 20 MB), each requiring its own rule file (and sometimes a rule file for each language pair direction). Original SGML files were preprocessed to provide XMLTrans with pure, well-formed XML input. Inputs were in a variety of XML formats, and the output was HTMI, Rule files had an average of 178 rules, and processing time per dictionary was aI)proxilnately I hour (including pre- and postprocesssing steps).</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> This paper has presented the XMI,Trans tra.nsduction language. The code is portable and should be executable on any platform for which a .\]aw~ runtime environment exists. A free version of XMLTrans can be downloaded fromS: http ://PSssco-www. unige, ch/proj ects /d i copro_publ i c/XMLTrans /</Paragraph>
