The final chapter (Bosch) warns again that languages without adequate HLT "run the risk of being marginalized in the global Information Society" (page 169).
the chapter is a good summary of Mt terms and concepts, and phases in its development; most interesting for language planners and policy-makers will be to learn that decades of Mt research have been largely unsuccessful, with its first paradigm -rule-based translation -largely abandoned as fruitless, and newer statistical methods yet unproven (several later chapters corroborate this conclusion).
