5 Open-Source Machine Translation
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> Despite the recognized need for translation, there is no widely used open-source machine translation system. One of the major reasons for this lack of success is the complexity of the task. By association to the international open-source DELPH-IN effort2 and with its strong emphasis on reusability, LOGON aims to help build a repository of open-source precision tools. This means that work on the MT system bene ts other projects, and work on other projects can improve the MT system (where EBMT and SMT systems provide results that are harder to re-use). While the XLE software used for Norwegian analysis remains proprietary, we have built an open-source bi-directional Japanese English prototype adaptation of the LOGON system (Bond, Oepen, Siegel, Copestake, &amp; Flickinger, 2005). This system will be available for public download by the summer of 2006.</Paragraph>
