This paper argues that machine translation programs will be able to solve certain problems, e.g., the resolution of polysemy, only by storing the meaning of natural language words in a medium and a format providing properties similar to those of human “understanding”.

In the following we give an account of a computer program for the translation of natural languages. The program has the following features: (1) it is adaptable to the translation of any two natural languages, not just to some particular pair; (2) it is a self-modifying program—that is, given the information that it has produced an incorrect translation, together with the translation which it should have produced according to the linguistic judgment of an operator, it will modify itself so as to eliminate the cause of the incorrect translation....
