6 Conclusion
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> The work described in this paper constitutes a rudimentary but concrete first step toward a new approach to IMT in which the medium of interaction is simply the target text itself. In contrast with previous interactive approaches, the translator is never expected to perform tasks that are outside the realm of translation proper (such as advising a machine about common sense issues). In line with the spirit of truly interactive approaches, the translator is called upon early enough to guide the system away from a &amp;quot;raw machine translation&amp;quot; he or she would rather not have to revise. And in fact the machine is now the one required to revise its own copy, making use of every keystroke entered by the translator to steer itself in a useful direction.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> This strikes us as the &amp;quot;proper place&amp;quot; of men and machines in IMT, and we intend to contiime exploring this promising avenue in our future research. null</Paragraph>
