    <Paragraph position="0"> This paper has presented a solution to the problem of thematic divergences in machine translation. The solution has been implemented in UNITRAN, a bidirectional system currently operating on Spanish, English, and German, running in Commonlisp on a Symbolics 3600 series machine. We have seen that the procedures involved are general enough to operate uniformly across different languages and divergence types. Furthermore, the entire space of thematic divergence possibilities is  covered in this approach without recourse to language-specific routines or transfer rules. In addition to thematic divergences, the system handles the other divergence types shown in figure 1, and it is expected that additional divergence types will be handled by means of equally principled methods.</Paragraph>
