Success at what? I'm being serious. As I read the article, that is the first thing that came to mind.


In a typical TEP (Translate-Edit-Proof) scenario, A "good" MT system will provide three things to be considered successful:

1) Faster completion of all future translation projects in the same domain
2) Lower cost/word than doing it without the MT system
3) Better Consistency on Terminology especially for higher volume projects where many translators need to be involved

All of this should happen with a final translation delivered to the customer that is indistinguishable in terms of quality from a traditional approach where MT is not used at all.
