Bi-Lingual Sentence Generation

In this paper, we use a single internal representation for bi-lingual document generation (English and Chinese) to experiment on the feasibility of a language independent structure. The input is designed based on the case relation and the sentence generator is 'implemented using systemic grammar. We augment the systemic grammar with procedural attachment to deal with language dependent choices. The system is tested for the application domain of preparing technical manuals with satisfactory results.
