In the first part of thls :report it is shown that generating and analysing can be done elegantly with the aid of ALGOL 60.In the second part a method is described for translation between languages of which we can construct sufficiently similar grammarsp by means of a one way simultaneous gram!!,!~•In this course a form of PSG will be introducedp essentially equivalent to a CF PSG, but better suited for natural languages.We will demonstrate this method with two ALGOL programs, a small translator English --> Dutch and a somewhat larger translator English --> German.
