Authoring Aids for Multilingual Technical Documentation

Technical documentation is getting more and more importance in the process of production, maintenance and waste disposal of goods, machines and systems. The way it is written in the original language has a strong influence in readability, understandability and translatability into a growing number of languages. Any quality enhancement in the production chain of technical documentation results in multiple profits in workshops, translation bureaus and official admission processes. This is the reason why there are worldwide efforts to use software systems with linguistic intelligence in order to help technical authors with their difficult task.
