We will demonstrate the GIST system, which generates social security forms in English, Italian and German. The system is intended for use by the technical authors and translators who design forms. A knowledge specification tool allows the author to build a model of the form in the knowledge representation language LOOM. From the LOOM model, a text drafter generates equivalent texts in the three...

There are three main actors in the ideal translation workflow: the translator, the terminologist and the reviser. We describe all the three roles in terms of their input and output information in the translation workflow and developed a language technology toolkit to help them to solve their tasks as effective as possible. In the project “Translation EU Legislation Texts into Hungarian” transla...

This paper presents our most recent research in the context of TTC, an EU funded research project, on using the Web to retrieve terminologically rich texts in a specific domain, and to find similar documents in such comparable corpora. The aim of this work is to provide tools for semi-automatic construction of bilingual term lists. 1 Parallel and comparable corpora Re-use of existing translatio...

The identification of the translator, textual apocrypha, and translation style in Buddhist texts are always important issues. This study proposes an approach to find the most discriminative features that characterize the different Buddhist translation texts or other transla...
