Tip of the hat to MT companies who have recently won or helped win prizes for their enterprise solutions. On Monday the Depart of Motor Vehicles in NY State announced that it won the 2004 American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators Region I Customer Service Excellence Award for on-the-fly English to Spanish translation of its web site using SDLEnterprise Translation Server.

And Systran has just been awarded an Information Society Technology prize by the European Commission for its Systran Professional Premium translation solution. If it wins the next round, it might earn an extra € 200,000 as a Grand Prize winner, but will have to wait until early 2005 to find out.
