WP3 Translator's tools - M18

During the reporting period, work has progressed on the following fronts.

1. The MOLTO translation editor demo prototype by Krasimir Angelov build with the Google Web Toolkit was installed under Eclipse with apache web server fastcgi. The complete development and testing cycle inside Eclipse is now available. The installation instructions are in the MOLTO UHEL Wiki at XXX.

A new tab embedding a treegrid editor implemented with the ExtJS javascript library for editing term equivalents has been added to the editor. A version is able to query Ontotext FactForge for term candidates. It remains to implement a full search and edit back end.

1. A design and implementation plan for an extended Translation Tools API has been drawn and submitted as Deliverable 3.1 (The Translation Tools API). Most parts of the API exist as existing code.

A development environment for the open source translation management system GlobalSight has been installed for adapting parts of the system for the MOLTO translation tools.

It remains to develop the glue to connect the existing parts together. Some extensions to the grammar development API have been listed in a requirements section in the deliverable.

1. A C language runtime for parsing and generating with PGF files has been written by Lauri Alanko. The first release will be out in Oct 2011.

2. A first version of an ontology/terminology acquisition toolkit for lexical resources management by Seppo Nyrkkö was demonstrated at the Helsinki project meeting.
