Project duration: 2021-04-01 – 2023-03-31

Main key words: Machine translation, CAT tools, Parallel corpora

Background of the research topic: Following the success of the Latvian portal hugo.lv and EU Presidency Translator projects, the similar concept is being extended and applied to other low/moderate-resourced languages: Croatian, Estonian, Icelandic and Maltese.

Goal of the project: The aim of the project is to create a generic, customizable LT platform that any European country can easily adapt and deploy in their eGovernment infrastructure. This proof-of-concept is tested for five EU/EEA official languages that will feature online access of different LT services to public administration.

Project abstract: The project is a collaborative project of several European countries to develop National Language Technology Platform (NLTP). The project aims at combining the most advanced Language Technology tools and solutions in a new, state-of-the-art, Artificial Intelligence driven, National Language Technology Platform for five EU/EEA official and low/moderate-resourced languages. The platform will provide public administrations and the general public with a secure access to high quality MT (using fast and efficient newest generation Neural MT) and integration with Computer Aided Translation (CAT) tools, e-mail plug-ins, web-pages translation widgets etc., for translation of texts and documents.
