1. Angelov K, Caprotti O, Enache R, Hallgren T, Listenmaa I, Ranta A, Saludes J, Slaski A. MOLTO web service, first version. 2010. Download: D10.2.pdf (682.03 KB)
   Abstract: This phrasebook is a program for translating touristic phrases between 14 European languages included in the MOLTO project (Multilingual On-Line Translation): Bulgarian, Catalan, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Romanian, Spanish, Swedish. A Russian version is not yet finished but will be added later. Also other languages may be added. The phrasebook is implemented by using the GF [4] programming language (Grammatical Framework). It is the first demo for the MOLTO project, released in the third month (by June 2010). The first version is a very small system, but it will extended in the course of the project. The phrasebook is available as open-source software, licensed under GNU LGPL, at http://code.haskell.org/gf/examples/phrasebook/[5].
2. Camilleri J, Fuchs NE, Kaljurand K. ACE Grammar Library. 2012. Download: d11_1.pdf (267.84 KB)
   Abstract: This report describes the implementation of a large part of the Attempto Controlled English (ACE) syntax --- the subset of ACE that is accepted by the AceWiki semantic wiki system --- in Grammatical Framework (GF) and making it available via 10 languages that are supported by the GF Resource Grammar Library (RGL). As a result, ACE becomes available in multiple languages, making ACE-based knowledge representation possible also in languages other than English. Additionally, the GF-based implementation of the ACE language provides ACE users with new (GF-based) editing tools.

   Abstract: This report describes the user evaluation of two related software products --- ACE-in-GF and AceWiki-GF. The multilingual grammar ACE-in-GF is implemented in the Grammatical Framework (GF) with the goal to provide a multilingual interface to a large subset of Attempto Controlled English (ACE). We measure the accuracy with which the ACE-in-GF grammar translates ACE sentences to the other languages that it implements, and show that its translations are preferred to the translations obtained with a state-of-the-art statistical translation system. The semantic wiki engine AceWiki-GF enables collaborative knowledge engineering environments that are based on controlled natural language and implemented as GF grammars. We set AceWiki-GF up with the ACE-in-GF grammar and a geography domain lexicon, and then ask speakers of different languages to supply the wiki with geographical knowledge. We show that the automatic translation does not affect the basic functioning of the wiki: users who view the wiki content in a language different from that in which it was originally written are as likely to agree or disagree on the verity of the content than users who view the content in the same language.
4. Caprotti O. Annual Public Report M24. 2012. Download: DX.2.pdf (3.36 MB)
   Abstract: Annual report on activities carried out in the framework of the MOLTO EU project. This report is designed for Web publishing, for a broad public outside the consortium. It documents the main results obtained by the MOLTO project during the first two years of activity and promotes the objectives of the project. MOLTO’s goal is to develop a suite of tools for translating texts between multiple languages in real time with high quality. MOLTO uses domain specific semantic grammars and ontology-based interlinguas implemented in GF [2] (Grammatical Framework), a grammar formalism where multiple languages are related by a common abstract syntax. Until now GF [2] has been applied in several small to-medium size domains, typically targeting up to ten languages, but during MOLTO we will scale this up in terms of productivity and applicability by increasing the size of domains and the number of languages. MOLTO aims to make its technology accessible to domain experts who lack GF [2] expertise so that building a multilingual application will amount to just extending a lexicon and writing a set of example sentences. The most research-intensive parts of MOLTO are the two-way interoperability between ontology standards (such as OWL and RDF) and GF [2] grammars and the extension of rule-based translation by statistical methods. The OWL-GF [2] interoperability enables multilingual natural language based interaction with machine-readable knowledge while the statistical methods add robustness to the system when desired. MOLTO technology is released as open-source libraries for third-party translation tools and web pages and thereby fits into standard workflows.

   Abstract: MOLTO’s goal is to develop a set of tools for translating texts between multiple languages in real time with high quality. MOLTO uses domainspecific semantic grammars and ontology-based interlinguas implemented in GF (Grammatical Framework), a grammar formalism where multiple languages are related by a common abstract syntax. GF has been applied in several small-to-medium size domains, typically targeting up to ten languages but MOLTO will scale this up in terms of productivity and applicability by increasing the size of domains and the number of languages. MOLTO aims to make the technology accessible for domain experts without GF expertise and to reduce the effort needed for building a translator to just extending a lexicon and writing a set of example sentences. The most research-intensive parts of MOLTO are the two-way interoperability between ontology standards (OWL) and GF grammars, and the extension of rule-based translation by statistical methods. The OWL-GF interoperability will enable multilingual natural-language-based interaction with machine-readable knowledge while the statistical methods will add robustness to the system when desired.

    Abstract: This report describes our work to extend the existing semantic wiki engine AceWiki — which is based on the controlled natural language (CNL) ACE — with multilinguality features. In our approach, the underlying multilingual CNL grammar is implemented in Grammatical Framework (GF). The grammar facilitates precise automatic translation between different natural languages defined by the grammar, making the wiki content multilingual. The underlying grammar itself is integrated into the wiki and can be collaboratively edited. We discuss the current implementation of the system and its use cases.

    Abstract: The present document is Deliverable D7.2 of WP7. It gives a description of the multilingual patents retrieval prototype produced in this workpackage and a brief user manual to access the demo. The main highlights achieved in the prototype with respect to the beta version described in the Deliverable 7.1\cite{d71} are the following: a) The demo allows for querying the system in the three languages addressed in this WP (English, French and German); b) the patents in the database has original text in English, French and German and also the translated documents for all missing languages of each document; c) the patent document translation can be done following a simple pipeline; d) some improvements on the interface addressed several deficiencies detected during internal evaluation; e) the new query library and its application to the patents use case have been presented at the Third Workshop on Controlled Natural Language (CNL 2012 (http://attempto.ifi.uzh.ch/site/cnl2012/), being held in Zurich at the end of August 2012.

    Abstract: GF, Grammatical Framework, is a programming language for multilingual grammars, used in the MOLTO project to build translation systems. How to write GF grammars is specified in the numerous tutorials and manuals available via http://grammaticalframework.org. This report explains the compiler of the GF language: how GF source code is compiled to various formats usable in runtime systems, how the developers can test their grammars, how other formats (such as lexica and example sentences) can be converted to GF code, how to call the compiler in various ways.
