Summary

The translator of the natural language information system PLIDIS is described. It transduces natural language sentences into expressions of the internal representation language KS. Some general problems with natural language translation, mainly word ambiguity, are discussed and the solutions for them within the PLIDIS translator are described. Suggestions for further improvements are made.
