Our main research contribution is that the transfer rules are not handcrafted but are learnt automatically from a parallel corpus. The system has been implemented in Amzi! Prolog, which offers scalability for large rule bases, full Unicode support for Japanese characters, and several APIs for the seamless integration of the translation functionality into common office environments. As a first user interface we have developed a translation environment under Microsoft Word. The dynamic nature of our system allows for an easy customization of the rule base according to the user's personal preferences by simply post-editing the translation results, which leads to an automatic update. The user interface for Microsoft Word also provides the possibility for the user to display token lists, parse trees, and transfer rules, which makes JETCAT also a very useful tool for language students.10aJapanese-English translation10aLanguage transfer rules1 aWiniwarter, W.  uhttp://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-70349984013&partnerID=40&md5=b27c9c795bbe154aace0b228c131a68e02026nas a2200181   4500008004100000245005200041210005000093260000900143300001200152490000600164520144600170653002101616653004501637653000901682100001701691700001901708856011701727       2006                        eng d00aTWSO - Transactional web service orchestrations0 aTWSO Transactional web service orchestrations  c2006  a56 - 620 v43 aThere is a need for transactional processing in the Web service world. Software industry responded to this need by publishing a couple of Web service transaction proposals that are quite alike. However, these proposals define basically only communication protocols that indirectly implement advanced transaction models. The proposals lack accurate usage suggestions and the rather obvious question "How can I use transactions in Web service based distributed systems?" is not covered anywhere satisfyingly. The use of arbitrary advanced transaction models is provided only by some of the proposals and likely requires an update of various transaction system components. This paper introduces TWSO (Transactional Web Service Orchestrations), a new approach to integrate transactional processing with Web service orchestrations. It tries to overcome the hassles stated above. TWSO concepts may appear in different manifestations, like an XML vocabulary (TWSOL) or an API for Java (TWSO4J). Constructs of TWSO manifestations are intended to be directly incorporated in Web service orchestration definitions. The usage pattern of TWSO is designed to resemble the programming pattern used when application programmers use transaction - enabled components like databases or application servers. Moreover, arbitrary advanced transaction models can be synthesized by using a basic set of transaction primitives without the demand for system-updates.10aNetwork protocol10aTransactional Web Service Orchestrations10aTWSO1 aHrastnik, P.1 aWiniwarter, W.  uhttp://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-33748275471&partnerID=40&md5=072dab0b6eaba78383708fb1f1d20e04
