This paper describes multilingual technology projects currently being undertaken in conjunction with the NATO BICES (Battlefield Information Collection and Exploitation) organization. First, we describe the basis of the multilingual processing for these projects, the CyberTrans machine translation environment, an operational system that enables the use of machine translation (MT) by intelligence analysts [1]. We will briefly describe the impetus behind the development of CyberTrans as well as the system design and implementation. Next, we will discuss the operational pilot installation of CyberTrans on the BICES network. Finally, we will present some potential multilingual technology pilot experiments for BICES. These future technologies will enable NATO to meet the challenges of its inherently multilingual user community and will pave the way for interoperability across language barriers in the future.
