Free service of automatic translation from Castillian to Catalan

The association Softcatalà and the University of Alicante are offering a free service for automatic translation from Castillian to Catalan via the net. The system called interNOSTRUM, developed from a Linux platform has been designed by the Department of Languages and Computer Systems of the University of Alicante commissioned by the Savings Bank Caja de Ahorros del Mediterraneo (CAM). It is a system of automatic translation from Castillian to Catalan with its dialect variations, that lets the user translate any text up to 2,048 characters.

The present system is still in the experimental stage and will be updated regularly taking advantage of the flexibility offered by Internet. The new service can be accessed from the web by Softcatalà www.softcatala.org/traductor.

Softcatalà, a nonlucrative association that works for the normalization of the Catalan language for computers relating to Internet, intends to integrate this new service in the next version of Navegador 6, the Catalan version of the popular Netscape navigator (Mozilla).

MallorcaWeb has collaborated with Softcatalà since its creation offering technical support for the free online downloading of all the programmes that the organisation translates.
