The JTLS also produces and publishes foreign language working aids under [[crown copyright]] and conducts research into machine translation and on-line dictionaries and glossaries. The JTLS is co-located with GCHQ for administrative purposes.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C6814022|title=Government Communications Headquarters, Cheltenham; Joint Technical Language Service|publisher=National Archives|access-date=25 February 2018|archive-date=26 February 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180226094057/http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C6814022|url-status=live}}</ref>
