Description

Ugarit is a web-based tool for manual translation alignment of parallel texts, whose aim is to build a user interface to create training data in form of translation pairs to be used later for an automatic translation alignment system at word/phrase level. The tool now is widely used as reading environment for parallel texts and a language learning tool.
