Building an environment for unsupervised automatic e-mail translation

By this paper, we present the INTERLINGUA Project 1: its design and current work. The goal of the project is achieving fully-automatic (no pre-edition, no post-edition) translation of emails in the virtual campus of the Open University of Catalonia (UOC). The problem of unsupervised machine translation of emails is discussed. Then we describe the strategy designed to build the system, including a multiple-level evaluation process and the building of several automatic preedition, post-edition and unknown-word extraction modules. Last, the work carried on so far on building such decision-taking modules is presented. 1
