Abstract

Enabling a user to access Internet resources in the language of his choice remains a major challenge in the field of Electronic Governance. This poster discusses the use of the United Nation's sponsored Universal Networking Language (UNL) in bridging the language barrier by enabling translation of documents in one language (source language) to another language (target language). UNL stores information in a machine-independent and human language independent form. An EnConverter(EnCo) converts natural language text into an UNL document and a DeConverter (DeCo) generates natural language text from an UNL document.
