Abstract

We present an approach to multilingual web content based on multilingual grammars and syntax editing for a controlled language. Content can be edited in any supported language and it is automatically kept within a controlled language fragment. We have implemented a web-based syntax editor for Grammatical Framework (GF) grammars which allows both direct abstract syntax tree manipulation and text input in any of the languages supported by the grammar. With this syntax editor and the GF JavaScript API, GF grammars can be used to build multilingual web applications. As a demonstration, we have implemented an example application in which users can add, edit and review restaurants in English, Spanish and Swedish.
