ABSTRACT

MOLTO's goal is to develop a set of tools for translating texts between multiple
languages in real time with high quality. Languages are separate modules in the
tool and can be varied; prototypes covering a majority of the EU's 23 official
languages will be built.

As its main technique, MOLTO uses domain-specific semantic grammars and
ontology-based interlinguas. These components are implemented in GF (Grammatical
Framework), which is 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.

A part of the scale-up is to increase the size of domains and the number of
languages. A more substantial part is to make the technology accessible for
domain experts without GF expertise and minimize the effort needed for building
a translator. Ideally, this can be done by 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. The statistical methods will add robustness to the system when
desired. New methods will be developed for combining GF grammars with
statistical translation, to the benefit of both.

MOLTO technology will be released as open-source libraries which can be plugged
in to standard translation tools and web pages and thereby fit into standard
workflows. It will be demonstrated in web-based demos and applied in three case
studies: mathematical exercises in 15 languages, patent data in at least 3
languages, and museum object descriptions in 15 languages.


MOLTO LANGUAGES

MOLTO translation is based on GF and its resource grammar library, which
currently covers the languages shown in the diagram here below. MOLTO tools will
enable the specialization of both the Abstract Syntax and the language fragments
to idiomatic usages in new domains of application.
