#Xbench regular expressions manual

In this paper, I attempt to contextualise computer-assisted translation (CAT) tools from a theoretical and a professional perspective and to model the usability of these tools. As nowadays there is an increasing demand for systems that can somehow cross the language boundaries by retrieving information of various languages with just one query, the third layer aims to answer this demand by taking advantage of CLIR techniques to find relevant information written in a language different from the one semi-automatically retrieved by the methodology used in the previous layer. The second layer will permit the exploitation of either monolingual or multilingual corpora mined from the Internet.

It will allow the manual upload of documents from a local or remote directory onto the platform. The manual layer presents the option of compiling monolingual or multilingual corpora. This design option will not only permit to increase the flexibility of the compilation process, but also to hierarchically extend the manual layer features to the semi-automatic web-based layer and then to the semi-automatic CLIR layer.

The dimensions that comprise iCompileCorpora can be represented in a layered model comprising a manual, a semi-automatic and a Cross-Language Information Retrieval (CLIR) layer.

This article presents an ongoing project that aims to design and develop a robust and agile web-based application capable of semi-automatically compiling monolingual and multilingual comparable corpora, which we named iCompileCorpora.
