Subject:Controlled Language From:"ROSE NORMAN, UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA IN HUNTSVILLE" <normanr -at- EMAIL -dot- UAH -dot- EDU> Date:Fri, 10 Feb 1995 15:57:44 -0600
Uwe Reinke asked a research question about controlled language for
writing to be translated. A graduate stduent here worked on a project
like tkhat last year, and I may be able to find her paper and suggest
directions. Currently, a student is doing follow-up work on that same
project (I may have given her the other student's year-old paper). She
is interviewing some machine translation specialists here in Huntsville, AL
who are marketing a new PC product called Transcend. It "automatically"
translates to several European languages.
One tip: "simplified English" is the key word that gave my other studenkt
best research results. "Restricted English" doesn't work.
I will upload a news release on "Transcend" directlky to Uwe Reinke, unless
others also want it on this list.
