We show how to utilize statistical methods, shallow extraction and propositional representation to provide translation relevant information and most of all, to enable the system to automatically create a dialogue script and result summary. 1 Introduction Verbmobil is a speech-to-speech translation system working in English, German and Japanese [ Bub and Schwinn, 1996 ] .
