Integrated Multilingual E-services for Business and Tourism

IMU - Integrated Multilingual E-services for Business and Tourism - is an EU-funded project aimed at launching an integrated e-service for tourists which combines an electronic dictionary, a phrase book and a machine translation solution with speech recognition and text-to-speech technology. Mixed contents, integrated character of the application and non-trivial ways of querying and delivering information account for multiple specific features of the resulting product as compared to traditional bilingual dictionaries and glossaries. We discuss the principles of compilation of the electronic tourist dictionary and phrase book, including the challenges of selection and presentation of terminological contents in it.
