> subject: Attempto and my Translation Framework
>
> Hallo!
>
> My project goal was to build a translation framework for translating my own
> texts written in English into German.
> A related goal was to develop the concept on the basis of a "workspace"
> created with a text editor and no programming.
> The framework has now reached a stage that will allow me to publish a first
> e-Book on it.
> The framework using the OpenOffice Writer as the editor and DBEdit as its
> database tool has the following process steps:
>
>  1. Separation of English sentences into their sentence-parts and input to
> DBEdit.
>  2. Resequence of the sentence-parts to meet German grammar needs.
>  3. Transformation, structural or lexical to meet German grammar needs.
>  4. Translation into German.
>
> Any document I translate goes through the above steps sentence by sentence
> and is thus stored in an accessible translation memory.
> Any document I release as an e-Book or PDF is released in both source and
> target languages and includes a glossary of the sentence parts in both
> languages.
> Any translation is checked using the DudenKorrektor product.
>
> Before the year-end I will have released version 2 of the framework based
> on the use of a translation dictionary.
> This will have a basic size of two thousand words for communication and
> approaching one thousand topic words and finally some five hundred words
> describing process steps.
> It will be a fully tagged dictionary down to the level of declensions.
> It is designed to give English words German word-role-tags to allow
> accurate translation.
> The dictionary will have some twenty thousand plus entries.
>
> In parallel to the above I have designed a second framework which is to be
> published.
> It is how to write correct English text and uses a notation database I have
> designed.
>
> Both frameworks used together form a base for writing and researching in
> two languages.
> They were used in the creation of a Personal Knowledge Management
> Application for my writing projects.
> It will also result in an e-Book publication
>
> What I believe that, I would like to do with Attempto ACE are the following
> tasks.
>
> 1. Use it for a rules system base for grammar, particularly sentence-parts
> transformation.
> 2. Use it as a parser basis to parse English sentences and
> 3. Re-sequence the sentence parts according to German grammar rules.
> 4. Create a rules base for transformation.
>
> The guidance I might hope for from the members is to indicate whether what
> I am considering is realistic or illusory.
>
> Given that it is realisable then there are other interesting possibilities,
> down the route of an IDE
>
> I envisage being able to build an application understandable as a workspace
> application with certain steps in the process being executed as command
> one-liners. these will be the steps using a rule base.
>
> There are almost one hundred process steps which could be used in the
> "one-liner" automations.
>
> I am not a programmer but I write and have some ability to think and
> describe what I do.
>
> I have always been irritated by the development of programming languages
> using words or terms that have no links to natural language.
>
> In parallel with what I have described here I am working on a variant of
> the process based on the use of BasicEnglish.
>
> What I have avoided in the above brief description is how the
> transformation of sentence-parts into a German form is conducted.
> My framework for this is today somewhat primitive and almost haphazard
> based on an inadequate knowledge of the German writing style.
> I have a very simple rules database, but no adequate means of linking to
> the stored translated memory.
> I feel that Attempto ACE could possibly be a route.
> What would interest me to know is whether or not Attempto Experts have
>  links to related projects with similar aspirations to mine, with which I
> might take contact.
>
> That perhaps is sufficient to describe what I set out to say.
>
> I hope that a dialogue might or can ensue.
>
> The above was the basis of an email I sent to Norbert E. Fuchs who replied
> as follows.

> Hello Patrick

> Sorry to react to your message only today. I just returned from vacation.

> Concerning your plans
>
> And now to what I would like to do with Attempto ACE.
>
> I would like first to use it for the final level of the dictionary namely
> the process step words.
> The next goal is to describe the steps to perform the framework process
> steps and build a bridge to Prolog.
>
> I envisage being able to build an application understandable as a workspace
> application with certain steps in the process being executed as command
> one-liners. these will be the steps using a rule base.
>
> One thing that struck me
>
> Any document I translate goes through the above steps sentence by sentence
> and is thus stored in a re-accessible translation memory.
>
> How about anaphoric references between sentences?
