Abstract

GloBuddy is a dynamic broad-context phrase book that assists English speaking travelers in finding words and phrases, in a foreign language, that are relevant to their current situation or context. Unlike traditional phrase books, such as Berlitz, GloBuddy achieves a broad range of contexts by using common sense knowledge from the OpenMind database and the OMCSnet, in conjunction with a translation program. When GloBuddy is launched on a hand-held device travelers will be able to turn to it for help in any context or situation.
