This site offers information on the structure, flow and
SAL representation language of OpenLogos,
the publicly available version of the
original, proprietary, rule-driven
Logos MT System (1970-2000)

THE LOGOS MODEL represents an innovative, declarative, rule-based approach to digital translation. In its day, where proper conditions obtained (i.e. adequate terminology coverage, with discursive source text that is well-written) this model proved capable of producing translation quality roughly approaching FAHQT (fully automatic, High-Quality Translation), as testified by longtime users of the original Logos System, such as Siemens-Nixdorf and SAP in Germany, Océ NV in the Netherlands, Ericsson in Sweden. and others.
