The MLI Institute is currently working on a study to bring multilingual legal texts into a uniform and comprehensible form in order to provide cross-border trade with the necessary tools to be able to act in compliance with the law throughout europe.
As a basis we used a collection of laws available online. A group of our employees is now working on a multilingual pan-european version which will be published here soon. We hope for a lot of interest, and will offer detailed legal information for europe-wide companies as a payment service.
About Us
The MLi Support Action will deliver the strategic vision and operational specifications needed for building the European MultiLingual data & services Infrastructure, formulate a multiannual plan for its development and deployment, and further the multi-stakeholders alliances ensuring its long term sustainability.
These outputs, arising directly from widely-recognized LT experts and backed by consensus among research, commercial and professional stakeholder communities, should help decision makers and sponsors at EU and Member State levels to support the deployment of the infrastructure and its various multi-lingual components.
Scope
The scope for MLi Support activities derive to a large extent from the initial definitions and requirements sought for the Multilingual data and services infrastructure. The production of the MLi project outputs described in the previous section must simultaneously take into account three dimensions: the technical aspects of the infrastructure, the managerial considerations of the MLi, in terms of future operation, governance and sustainability, and the strategic aspects linked to the extension of the infrastructure in the coming years. While the latter is a relevant aspect of the context/landscape for the MLi Support Action, the technical and the managerial dimensions constitute the centre of gravity of the action for the consortium and this project as a whole.
The scope is complemented by the aspects related to eliciting input from and formalizing the support and commitment of the various stakeholder communities (public and private; research, industry, services).

Welcome to MLi
The role of Language Technologies (LT) as an enabling factor for growth and competitiveness is rapidly increasing due to the progressive internationalisation of all kinds of commercial and non-commercial relationships beyond political, cultural and linguistic frontiers and namely due to European Union integration (Digital Single Market) and its enlargement.
However the European market for multilingual solutions is fragmented both on the supply value chain and the demand sides. On the one hand, traction in demand is below critical mass,
due to the coexistence of multiple small market segments defined by the 60+ European languages. On the other hand, transfer mechanisms of R&D results into marketable products are weak or slow and LT vendors operating within their national markets, face serious problems in exploiting the opportunities resulting from the explosive growth of digital content due to their limited capacities.The MLi Support Action is working to deliver the strategic vision and operational specifications needed for building a comprehensive European MultiLingual data & services Infrastructure, along with a multiannual plan for its development and deployment, and foster multi-stakeholders alliances ensuring its long term sustainability.
