Jonathan Slocum/Slocum, 1985/ divides MT techniques from a linguistic point of view into three two-way perspectives which are not quite disjunct: "direct versus indirect; interlingua versus transfer; and local versus global scope.".In this paper we present a research paradigm which, in fact, does not exactly match any of these perspectives: The Languages Network. In this paradigm each pair of languages will be treated as within a transfer application but with the characteristics of indirect translation: analysis of the source language and synthesis of the target language are not totally dependent on each other.The proces must be split up into a large number of pieces which can be connected into a huge network performing MT from and into several languages.Implementations of this paradigm are being carried out by the author by means of the translator generator SYGMART (see/Chauché/, Chauché, 1974/ and/Rolf, 1985/), which permits the linguist to implement whatever he wants in the field of MT in an efficient way on a wide range of computers (from Atari1040STf via SUN's to IBM VM/GMS mainframes).
