+History +

Version 0.1, 26 March 2010. Eng, Fin, Fre, Ron; dedicated minibar UI. +
Version 0.2, 28 March. Swe; cat Action; small phrases. +

+ +

Purpose

+This phrasebook is a programme for translating touristic phrases +between 15 European languages: +

Bulgarian, Catalan, Danish, Dutch, English, + Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, + Polish, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish +

+ +

+It is implemented by using the GF programming language +(Grammatical Framework). +It is the first demo for the MOLTO project +(Multilingual On-Line Translation). +

+The phrasebook has the following requirements: +

high quality: reliable translations +
translation from any language to any other ones +
runnable in web browsers +
runnable on mobile phones (also off-line: forthcoming for Android phones) +
easily extensible by new words (forthcoming: semi-automatic extensions by users) +

+ +

+The phrasebook is available as open-source software, licensed under GNU LGPL. +The source code resides in +code.haskell.org/gf/examples/phrasebook/ +

+Current status (28 March 2010): +

available in English, Finnish, French, Romanian, Swedish +
very small coverage +
works on web browsers calling a server +
web service not yet released, but preliminarily available + here +

+ +

Points illustrated

+The use of resource grammars and functors. +

+Compile-time transfer: especially, in Action in Words. +

+Quasi-incremental translation: many basic types are also used as phrases. +

+Disambiguation, esp. by the parameters in Roles. +
