6. Summary
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> A method that automatically determines the SAs of user defined words was proposed. The method was applied to create the dictionaries needed to translate several newspaper articles and some software specifications. The results show that the automatically determined SAs include 50 to 80% of the correct attributes. This value is 5-10% smaller than that achieved with manual determination (50 &amp;quot;~ 90%), but is still high enough to improve translation quality. Translation experiments confirmed that using the automatically determined SAs improved translation quality by 6-13%.</Paragraph>
