ABSTRACT
This paper discusses one of the problems of machine translation, namely the translation of idioms. The paper describes a solution to this problem within the theoretical framework of the Rosetta machine translation system.Rosetta is an experimental translation system which uses an intermediate language and translates between Dutch, English and, in the future, Spanish.
