ABSTRACT:
A method and system for translating an electronic document from one format to an electronic document in a second format. Selected portions from a source document are extracted and transformed into the format of a target document. A translation rule set is then deduced from the extracted portions and the transformed portions. The translation rule set is then applied to the source document, producing a first draft. If the translation rule set is unable to translate a portion from the source document, then the user is notified of the untranslatable portion. The user then provides examples of how the untranslatable portion should be translated into the format of the target document. The translation rule set is then modified in accordance with the examples. Next, the modified translation rule set is applied to the source document, producing a second draft. The above steps are repeated until the source document has been completely translated into the format of the target document or until the user is satisfied with the translation.
