Design and Development Considerations for a Multilingual Digital Library
Abstract
Multilingual digital libraries provide access to resources in more than one language by allowing queries in one language to retrieve documents in multiple languages. By providing cross-lingual information access, multilingual digital libraries have the potential to improve international understanding, and they are an essential component of our global information society. Building a multilingual digital library presents a unique set of challenges in the areas of translation, language processing, user interface, system architecture, and project management. Perhaps the most challenging feature of the multilingual digital library is the crossing of the language barrier, which is achieved through translation, often introducing errors in the process. This chapter presents a general introduction to the challenges facing developers of multilingual digital libraries and provides references for further reading.
