We describe ongoing efforts towards and challenges in using an
Example-Based Machine Translation (EBMT) system in the context of a multinational,
multi-university and multi-agency transnational digital government
project. The project is aimed at applying information technology to the problem
of collecting and sharing information securely in a multilingual context. We
report on a number of issues encountered in obtaining and using language data for
the EBMT system, discuss our current solutions, and briefly describe ongoing
enhancements to the system to meet some of the technical and practical challenges
posed by using this machine translation approach in the project domain
