SCANIA SWEDISH - A BASIS FOR MULTILINGUAL MACHINE TRANSLATION
Anna Sågvall Hein, Ingrid Almqvist, Per Starbäck · 1997
This paper describes ongoing work on the definition and checking of a controlled language for technical text at Scania. The controlled language, Scania Swedish, will serve as a basis for machine-translation into Scania's market languages. Machine translation will be handled by a modular, transfer-based MT-system, Multra, taking Swedish as its source language. The analyser of Multra serves as the engine of ScanCheck, a language checker embodying a specification of Scania Swedish, as the language is being defined. A first version of ScanCheck was installed for evaluation at Scania in October 1997. Current states of Scania Swedish, and ScanCheck, and the operation of Multra are briefly described.
