                           Special Issue on:
                    Machine Translation for Arabic

During the last decade, much research has been conducted in Machine  
Translation
where the Arabic language was the focus.  Building on the success of  
these efforts,
the Machine Translation Journal is issuing a call for contributions  
for a special
issue on the topic of Machine Translation between Arabic and other  
languages.
The special issue will primarily focus on challenges and solutions for  
translation
to and from Arabic. We encourage research groups that are engaged in  
defining the
current state of Arabic Machine Translation and the groups engaged in  
the various
large scale evaluations involving Arabic Machine Translation to submit  
extended
papers that describe their innovative contribution to the filed. This  
special
issue will provide a forum for this vital research to be published and  
archived,
so that it is accessible to the broad Machine Translation and  
Computational
Linguistics communities.
