Multilingual Online Translation

The stated objectives of this workpackage are to:

  1. create a MOLTO community of researchers and commercial partners;
  2. make the technology popular and easy to understand through light-weight online demos;
  3. apply the results commercially and ensure their sustainability over time through synergetic partnerships with the industry.

The first task has been to setup the website for MOLTO, with information about MOLTO’s technology and potential (D10.2, UGOT and Ontotext) targeted to research, industry and users. Bibliographic information on GF, on SMT and on knowledge retrieval is kept up-to-date and includes tutorial presentations delivered during the MOLTO workshops. The web site includes a News section with frequent informal posts on internal progress and plans and encouraging community contributions in the form of comments. More light newsflash items are published using the MOLTO Twitter feed. A specific section is devoted to Frequently Asked Questions and can be collaboratively maintained by the MOLTO partners.

This workpackage was responsible for two deliverables during the first semester:

  1. Dissemination plan with monitoring and assessment,
  2. MOLTO web service, first version.

The dissemination plan can be accessed on the consortium-restricted pages at http://www.molto-project.eu/wiki/d10.1 and will be amended during the project's lifetime if needed. The project has been presented in a few meetings and international events, most notably at LREC2010, EAMT2010, and ACL2010.

The first version of the MOLTO web service consists of an online demonstration of a multilingual travel phrasebook, described online in Deliverable D10.2 at http://www.molto-project.eu/wiki/d10.2.
