Results: /olac-translation.html “Translation” experiment Possible practical application: We wanted to assess the degree of automation possible, based on string search for related terms: for service providers: to use the new codes for searching, and “translate” existing descriptions into new codes behind the scenes. See: /olac/search-demo.html for archives: to “translate” existing resource descriptions into new terminology.
