Abstract
This paper presents experiments on the use of machine translation output for technical translation. MT output was used to produced translation memories that were used with a commercial CAT tool. Our experiments investigate the impact of the use of different translation memories containing MT output in translations' quality and speed compared to the same task without the use of translation memory. We evaluated the performance of 15 novice translators translating technical English texts into German. Results suggest that translators are on average over 28% faster when using TM.
