Abstract
This paper describes an attempt to transform a general purpose machine translation system that had originally been designed for human aided computer translation of technical documentation into the linguistic component of a domain dependent spoken language translation system for remote PC maintenance. In the first part, the translation system is described. The second part describes the measures taken to adapt it to the spoken language task.
