2. The MOLTO Translation Tools Architecture

The MOLTO Translation Tools architecture is recapitulated here briefly. It consists of many largely independent components. There is a core basically answering the needs of a single author/translator, and an Extended API addressing the needs of a community of authors, translators, and grammar engineers.

The components of the MOLTO TT editor prototype currently include the following:

1. sign in
2. grammar manager
3. document manager
4. term manager
5. translation editor

The components of the MOLTO TT extended prototype include the following:

1. user management
2. grammar management
3. document management
4. lexical resources
5. translation editing
6. translation memory
7. reviewing/feedback
8. grammar engineering

The first five are extensions of the corresponding facilities in the core. The lexical resources API borrows from TermFactory. The translation memory and the reviewing/commenting facilities are adapted from GlobalSight. The last item is based on the GF grammar development tools API.
