چکیده
The TECHDOC system [R5sner, Stede 92b] is an implemented prototype that starts from a domain knowledge base about maintenance plans, objects and actions involved, potential hazards etc. and delivers simultaneously generated instruction texts in at the moment three supported languages (English, German and French).
