Abstract :
PRATTFALL, an English-to-French machine-translation (MT) module built on top of the PUNDIT text-understanding system, is described. PRATTFALL is implemented in Prolog/T (as is PUNDIT) and is based on M.C. McCord´s (1986) LMT system. PRATTFALL comprises components for transfer, restructuring, and inflection and has successfully translated a small subset of one of PUNDIT´s corpora of messages
