The paper presents a conceptual ontology that has been developed for the purpose of machine translation from and into Polish. The ontology has been applied in Translatica - a general domain MT system that currently translates texts between Polish and English and aims at the development of other language pairs including Polish. The Translatica ontology, designed mainly for disambiguation purposes, contains noun terms. The ontological concepts are applied as semantic values in lexical rules for verbs, adjectives and prepositions. The ontology is based on WordNet. The paper compares the adopted approach to those used in other transfer-based and interlingua-based syustems. It also points out justifies the differences between the Translatica ontology and WordNet.
