The paper presents the idea of using regular expressions in translation systems based on translation memories. Regular expressions (regexps) are used for: search for a match in the input sentence, search for an appropriate example in the translation memory and in the transfer of the input sentence into its equivalent. The application of transfer rules to translation memories supports the thesis, put forward in the paper, that Machine Translation and Computer-Aided Translation converge into the same direction.
