6. Conclusion
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> In this paper, we have presented a framework for customizing a machine translation system using user-defined translation templates. This enables users to represent bilingual knowledge for complex translation. We have conducted a preliminary analysis to evaluate tile effectiveness of the proposed framework based on a bilingual text. Tile result shows that about 60% of mistranslated sentences can be properly translated by combining the proposed framework with the convention:d ct, stomizing functions, while only 14% can be achieved using tbe conventional customizing functions.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> One of our current concerns is to extend translation templates and make them more expressive to deal with more complex translation. The proposed framework does not permit variables in a template to be changed into other grammatical categories.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2"> Another concern is to improve the user interface for registering translation templates. Through tile analysis of source and target sentences, initial values in the interface will be more acct,rate and need less correction.</Paragraph>
