The program for translation of scientific and technological books presented to the contest and exhibition drew attention from visitors.

Chief Kim Tong Gwon of a section of the IT Institute of the university, when interviewed by KCNA, said:

The program is characterized by its high accuracy and speed in translation as it is based on up-to-date technology currently used in different scientific research organs.
