论文摘要
欧洲有24种官方欧盟和许多其他语言，欧洲的多语言主义和包容性的数字单市场只能通过语言技术（LTS）实现。欧洲LT业务由数百名中小企业和一些大型球员主导。许多人是世界一流的，具有胜过全球参与者的技术。但是，欧洲LT业务也被民族国家，语言，垂直行业和部门所分散，这大大阻止了其影响力。欧洲语言网格（ELG）项目通过将EL作为欧洲LT的主要平台来解决这种分裂。 ELG是一个可扩展的云平台，以易于整合的方式提供了所有欧洲语言的数百种商业和非商业LTS，包括运行工具和服务以及数据集和资源。一旦全面运行，它将使商业和非商业欧洲LT社区能够将其技术和数据集存入EL，以通过网格部署它们，并与其他资源建立联系。 ELG将把多语言的数字单市场推向一个蓬勃发展的欧洲LT社区，创造新的就业机会和机遇。此外，ELG项目还组织了两个开放式呼吁，要求多达20个试点项目。它还设立了32个国家能力中心（NCCS）和欧洲中有利机委员会（LTC）的外展与协调目的。
With 24 official EU and many additional languages, multilingualism in Europe and an inclusive Digital Single Market can only be enabled through Language Technologies (LTs). European LT business is dominated by hundreds of SMEs and a few large players. Many are world-class, with technologies that outperform the global players. However, European LT business is also fragmented, by nation states, languages, verticals and sectors, significantly holding back its impact. The European Language Grid (ELG) project addresses this fragmentation by establishing the ELG as the primary platform for LT in Europe. The ELG is a scalable cloud platform, providing, in an easy-to-integrate way, access to hundreds of commercial and non-commercial LTs for all European languages, including running tools and services as well as data sets and resources. Once fully operational, it will enable the commercial and non-commercial European LT community to deposit and upload their technologies and data sets into the ELG, to deploy them through the grid, and to connect with other resources. The ELG will boost the Multilingual Digital Single Market towards a thriving European LT community, creating new jobs and opportunities. Furthermore, the ELG project organises two open calls for up to 20 pilot projects. It also sets up 32 National Competence Centres (NCCs) and the European LT Council (LTC) for outreach and coordination purposes.
