Abstract
The present invention is a system of integrated, computer-based processes for monolingual information development and multilingual translation. An interactive text editor enforces lexical and grammatical constraints on a natural language subset used by the authors to create their text, which they help disambiguate to ensure translatability. The resulting translatable source language text undergoes machine translation into any one of a set of target languages, without the translated text requiring any postediting.
Claims24
A computer-based method for linguistically analyzing a document, the document including at least one tag indicative of a characteristic of a portion of the document, comprising:
- parsing the document;
- recognizing the tag as one tag type of a plurality of tag types, while parsing the document;
- interpreting said one tag type and responsively determining the characteristic of the portion of the document;
- using said characteristic to assist in linguistically analyzing the document;
- and
- using said characteristic to assist in translating the portion of the document.
