High-quality machine translation between human languages has for a long time been an unattainable dream for many computer scientists involved in this fascinating and interdisciplinary field of application of computers. The quite recently developed example-based machine translation technique seems to be a serious alternative to the existing automatic translation techniques. In the paper the usage of the example based machine translation technique for the development, of a system, which would be able to translate an unrestricted Norwegian text into Polish is proposed. The new approach to the example-based machine translation technique that takes into account the peculiarity of the Polish grammar is developed. The obtained primary results of development of the proposed system seem to be very promising and appear to be a step made in the right direction towards a fully-automatic high quality Norwegian-into-Polish machine translation system aimed for an unrestricted text.
