5 Conclusions
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> We have proposed that many MT problems can be resolved if we have two paraphrasers, in both the source- and target-language. We have also proposed that bilingual knowledge be minimized in order to increase portability to other languages or other tasks.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> This paper explained details of our MT system design and discussed its advantages. One feature of our design is that the translation process is achieved by interaction between the source language paraphraser and the transfer, unlike the conventional sequential MT model.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2"> We illustrated this advantage concretely by showing examples of the information exchanged between the two modules.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="3"> It is obvious that the bilingual burden is drastically eased in this model, while the importance of the monolingual process (i.e., paraphrasing) is increased. Although we did not illustrate many problems, such as ambiguity reduction for syntax or semantics, we will explore these issues in the future. Also, we need to evaluate the quality of the translation outputs after the target paraphraser is implemented.</Paragraph>
