Project description
Multilingual Web: Machine translation for the multilingual web
The goal of this project is to integrate the best machine translation services of all the major European MT providers in a single website that will offer free online machine translation from any official European language to any other. Translation between all European language pairs will be available by the partners' direct or linked translators.Service providers will advertise their extra translation services and also make profit from adverts sold here.The service will offer the best quality translation for every European language pair. To prove this our ranking we will provide reliable evaluation tests and publish the results. The site would be open to everyone. New competitors and challengers will be invited. We hope that this continuously updated evaluation site inspires competition between MT companies.The website will initiate community activities by collecting better translations, user evaluation and making access to human translators.The solution would share the task of covering many languages with other MT providers. This would enable us to focus on the languages in which we have the highest level of expertise.The collaboration of the leading MT companies of Europe might foster the development of new technologies and industry standards which will lead us to even better quality in machine translation.
