Press Release Summary = @promt Professional 7.0 is an excellent and convenient
translation software.
Press Release Body = St. Petersburg, November 15, 2005 –– PROMT, the world leader in
development of machine translation technologies, has announced that @promt
Professional 7.0 has been selected by the NASA astronauts for use on their personal
computers and on the international space station. After carefully studying the
alternatives, a group of testers in the US NASA astronaut corps decided in favor of
@promt Professional 7.0 translation software. The astronauts deal with foreign
languages a lot more than one would imagine. In particular their close association
with Russian astronauts and the Russian Space Agency has made English-Russian
translation software a very useful tool for the astronauts. NASA is installing the
@promt Professional 7.0 together with the entire set of specialized subject
dictionaries which includes many engineering topics on both the PC’s of
the astronauts and as well as their PDA’s.
Bill McCarthur, US astronaut currently aboard the international space station wrote
in a recent email, “My crew leaves for Baikonur, Kazakhstan, on September 18th. We
launch to the International Space Station on October 1st. You may be interested to
know that @promt Professional ERRE V7 is on the disk image I\'ll be using on orbit“.
Tom Garrahan, managing director of Professional MT Solutions Inc, an official
partner of PROMT in France and Switzerland, went to NASA to provide an introduction
of the software to the astronauts. “It was an interesting experience to provide even
a simple class to America’s best and brightest. Most of the astronauts had already
learned the software inside and out before the classes and were experts in 1/3 of
the time we normally set for training.”
“We are more than proud to know astronauts will benefit from our technology on the
orbit. International Space Station is the essence of the mankind knowledge in the
field of space exploration. So is the @promt products family in the field of machine
translation”, says Ilia Klimakov, Director of Overseas Markets of PROMT.
With the astronauts now using the software themselves, @promt software will now be
studied for incorporation into the space station IT systems. Professional MT
Solutions (Promt Solutions in short) provides @promt automatic translations
solutions and support services to corporations and international organizations. The
company is headquartered in Wilmington, DE and with sales and services offices in
Geneva, Switzerland.
