P923    Multilingual Web sites: Best practice, guidelines and architectures

D2 Experiences in designing and building multilingual Web sites

Issue date: August 2001

Confidentiality: For full publication

Format: Main Report (31 pages)
TI1: Annex 1:Demonstrator specification (21 pages)
TI2: Annex 2: Development of Demonstrator (42 pages)
TI3: Annex 3: Demonstrator Trial and Evaluation (36 pages)

Abstract:
This deliverable addresses the experience of P923 in designing, building, and evaluating the ‘EURESCOM Meeting Support Service’, a multilingual web service. In this demonstrator service special attention has been paid to the architecture, that should make the building and maintenance of multilingual pages easy, flexible, and straightforward. It should also be easy to add new languages. The chosen architecture, in which there is a clear separation between content, presentation, and navigation, could be built with current commercial web development tools, and turned out to fulfil the requirements of flexibility and simple language navigation.

Fairly new in this demonstrator is the integration of two language technology tools: Machine Translation (Systran Enterprise), and Automatic Summarisation (Extractor).

This deliverable also provides information on a user evaluation of Machine Translation and Summarisation.

Finally, this deliverable contains information on the use of a Translation Memory (TRADOS) in the context of multilingual web services.

Applicability:
Target readers: anyone who is involved in the process of designing, building or managing multilingual Web sites.
