• Context

IPCA6TRANS

• IPCA6TRANS Concept

Agenda:

• IPCA6TRANS toolkit

• Perspectives

• Cooperation plan


IT toolkit to assist capture of the IPC translation into non-authentic languages:

IPCA6TRANS context

•Takes as Input: IPC XML master files (EN & FR)

•Produces outputs for the preparation of the publication in specific language (e.g.internet SK)


What it is:

IPCA6TRANS context

• toolkit to be adapted to the local IT infrastructure

• Automatic translation machine

• Automatic production of IPC internet publication

What it is NOT:

• customized solution with customized training

• An off the shelf product

• Free of charge contribution to IP offices
