The fundamental types of translation demand: dissemination, assimilation, and interchange are highlighted. The study presents the background and history of machine translation as well as the basic strategies of machine translation by elaborating the direct and indirect approaches. The concept of ‘Controlled Language’ is discussed together with controlled language components and tools. Types of controlled Janguage are also pointed out. Examples of implementing controlled Janguage in machine translation systems are provided.
