Multilingual Approach to e-Learning from a Monolingual Perspective

Abstract

This paper describes the efforts undertaken in an international research project LT4eL from the perspective of one of the participating languages, Czech. The project aims at exploiting language technologies for adding new functionalities to an open source Learning Management System ILIAS.

The new functionalities are based both on existing and newly developed tools for all languages involved. The paper describes in detail the issues of the implementation of a keyword extractor and a glossary candidate detector for Czech.
