Hi,

I wish to know if anyone has attempted/developed tools for taking a windows
application and translating the dialog boxes, menus etc. into
another language automatically or with some post editing involved.

Thanks in advance,

Annette McElligott,

Does anyone know of text-alignment efforts at the word level? (As
opposed to a by-product of sentence alignment?)

Thanks,
Jorge (IN%"baldizojguvax.georgetown.edu")

Does anyone have any information about attempts to use translated
texts to:
 1) correct OCR output,
 2) do POS tagging,
 3) disambiguate senses,
 4) do anaphora resolution, or
 5) perform other types of analysis?
Thanks,
Jorge (IN%"baldizojguvax.georgetown.edu")

I am looking for references to discussion of Chomsky's
argument in Syntactic Structures chapter three that
English is not a finite state language.

please respond by e-mail.

thanks in advance
