Introduction: this web site "primarily" focuses on referencing articles, books, theses, dissertations and other documents that are on the topic of Controlled language, and as it is combined with Translation software.
******VERY IMPORTANT*****: My use of the 
icon on this web site "specifically means" that the indicated reference has recently "been added" to this information portal site. The NEW icon does not necessarily mean that the article, paper or presentation has been recently published. The reason for this specific usage of NEW is to help visitors of the site to identify any newly added entries since their last visit.
All topics relating to the design, implementation and application of controlled languages, including but not limited to: human communication protocols; controlled text authoring; conformance checking systems; controlled language authoring aids; machine translation; memory-based translation authoring and translation; issues in Controlled Language design; industrial experience and evolving requirements; quality and usability evaluations of controlled language.
