Automatic Translation of Multi-word Labels

Application of semantic resources often requires linking phrases expressed in a natural language to formally defined notions. In case of ontologies lexical layers may be used for that purpose. In the paper we propose an automatic machine translation method for translating multi-word labels from lexical layers of domain ontologies. In the method we take advantage of Wikipedia and dictionaries services available on the Internet in order to provide translations of thematic texts from a given area of interest. Experimental evaluation shows usefulness of the proposed method in translating specialized thematic dictionaries.
