T4TEC: A Prototype for Simplified Multilingual Technical Communication

We present the design and implementation of a prototype to support the field of technical communication and in particular the multilingual technical writing, named Terminology for Technical Efficient Communication (T4TEC), jointly developed between the University of Padua and COM&TEC (Associazione Italiana per la Comunicazione Tecnica). T4TEC is an innovative prototype tool among the software solutions for technical writing and technical communication. T4TEC includes a hybrid approach (rule based + data driven) based on 1) the official hand-written rules proposed by the Simplified Technical English, the Français Rationalisé, and Italiano Tecnico Semplificato experts and users; and 2) automatically harvest rule for lexical and syntactic simplifications by means of neural models.
