Abstract

Substantial amount of multilingual educational resources are already available online through Web sites. However, such educational resources are not necessarily used extensively regardless of immediate needs. The objective of this study is to propose a way of sharing educational documents so that existing assets can be fully usable in different languages. In this paper, we introduce a brief overview of a multilingual environment for sharing educational documents, which is being developed on top of Language Grid that is an extensible, open platform for online language services.
