Multilingual Online Translation

The Grammarian's Tools include tools for using the GF grammar compiler and the Resource Grammar Library. In the first 6 months of MOLTO, we have worked on consolidating the compiler and the Library API, and also experimenting with the example-based grammar writing technique.

Clearly significant results include:

  • Milestone 1, 15 languages in the library. Due September 2010; reached December 2009.
  • Workflow for example-based grammar writing and estimated engineering effort: reported as a part of D10.2
  • GF plugin to Python NLTK
  • GF syntax highlight plugin to XCode programming environment.
  • Integrating probabilities with GF grammars.
  • Release of GF 3.1.6 in April 2010; GF 3.2 forthcoming before end of 2010.

No deviations from Annex I and the use of resources was as planned.
