{{Main|Interlingual machine translation}}

Interlingual machine translation was one instance of rule-based machine-translation approaches.  In this approach, the source language, i.e. the text to be translated, was transformed into an interlingual language, i.e. a "language neutral" representation that is independent of any language. The target language was then generated out of the [[interlinguistics|interlingua]]. The only interlingual machine translation system that was made operational at the commercial level was the KANT system (Nyberg and Mitamura, 1992), which was designed to translate Caterpillar Technical English (CTE) into other languages.
