Dear all,

Top of Form

I allow myself to use this network of experts in the field of machine
translation as part of a large project of machine translation at the
European Commission in Luxembourg that has started 3,5 years ago.

Now that the project is running well and is gaining respectability, they
would like to hire an additional computational linguist in order to
sustain the growth of their activities.
