Abstract
At the political and social level, easy-to-read texts are regarded as an important tool for creating barrier-free communication. In some countries, the right to comprehensible information is enshrined in law, which means that more and more standard-language texts have to be translated into easy-to-read texts. To support this intralingual translation process, previous approaches address the automation of specific sub-processes and thus focus on specific actors in the translation process. Interaction between those involved in the translation process is mostly decentralized and takes place using various applications. There is a lack of a holistic system that connects all actors involved in the process and allows interactions between the participants. This paper focuses on the implementation of a web-based assistance system and suitable interfaces that allow the representation of sub-processes of the intralingual translation process, taking into account the actors involved, and enable interactions between the participants. In order to store the data generated during the translation process in a structured and clear manner, various data management approaches could be used in this context and evaluated by means of functional tests. The results indicate that the interfaces between the actors have been optimized by the interaction components integrated in the system. Based on this, user-oriented further developments of web-based assistance systems can be carried out in the context of the intralingual translation process, whereby the system is to be used in real application contexts in the future in order to elicit the need for further assistance functions.
