Abstract

The aim of the Language Grid is to enable users to develop new language services by sharing and combining any existing language resources as language services. To implement this concept, we had to address the following problems: (1) only organization agents can register and invoke services, i.e., private users cannot invoke services on the Language Grid directly. Private users are able to use only the applications that have been developed and published non-commercially; (2) using the resources of mobile devices and services in the cloud is hindered by mismatches such as different communication protocols and different input and output methods. This chapter introduces a language service infrastructure for personal use called Language Mashup. It enables users to develop and install domain-specific multilingual applications on their smart personal devices by combining various kinds of language services created from the language resources provided by both academia and industry, and located on cloud servers or on mobile devices.
