During the first quarter, SYSTRAN sales grew by 10.9% despite the economic slowdown. Sales amounted to 1,970 K€ as compared with 1,777 K€ for the first quarter of 2009.

As a result of SYSTRAN Enterprise Server 7 product sales to corporate customers, license sales amounted to 1,412 K€ as compared with 1,012 K€ in 2009 and represents 71.7% of total sales for the first quarter of 2010.

Sales for the Professional Services business unit decreased when compared with same period last year.

During the first quarter of 2010, SYSTRAN announced the release of a new add on product for SYSTRAN Enterprise Server 7: SYSTRAN Training Server. This new product allows corporate customers to reuse existing translated texts and produce customized translations tailored to their business domain/industry. SYSTRAN Training Server will likely accelerate the adoption of Machine Translation software by corporate customers as the software "trains" on bilingual texts to learn enterprise-specific terminology and enhances translation quality. This results in significant savings in post-editing translations.

2010 Outlook

SYSTRAN will focus its investments and commercial effort in developing sales to corporate customers.

During the summer of 2010, SYSTRAN plans to release the new version 7 of its Desktop product line. This new desktop version will bring major innovations. It intelligently uses existing documents stored on PCs to learn user terminology and linguistic specificities. More than a simple gisting tool, the SYSTRAN 7 desktop product line is a productivity-enhancing software tool that quickly and efficiently translates documents.

Dispute with the European Commission

On February 24th, 2010 the Court announced a decision is likely to be rendered before summer. On March 26th, 2010 the Court reopened the oral proceedings and sent the parties questions. SYSTRAN answered the Court on May 5th, 2010.
