What is GF

+

+GF, Grammatical Framework, is a programming language for +multilingual grammar applications. It is +

+ + +

+Don't worry if you don't know most of the references above - but if you do know at +least one, it may help you to get a first idea of what GF is. +

+

Applications

+

+GF can be used for building +

+ + +

Availability

+

+GF is open-source, licensed under GPL (the program) and +LGPL and BSD (the libraries). It +is available for +

+ + +

Projects

+

+GF was first created in 1998 at +Xerox Research Centre Europe, +Grenoble, in the project +Multilingual Document Authoring. At Xerox, it was used for prototypes including +a restaurant phrase book, +a database query system, +a formalization of an alarm system instructions with translations to 5 languages, and +an authoring system for medical drug descriptions. +

+

+Later projects using GF and involving third parties include, in chronological order, +

+ +

+Here is a talk +about GF at XRCE, +14 years later. + +

+Academically, GF has been used in at least ten PhD theses and resulted +in more than a hundred +scientific publications (see GF publication list). +

+

Programming in GF

+

+GF is easy to learn by following the tutorial. +You can write your first translator in 15 minutes. +

+

+GF has an interactive command interpreter, as well as a batch compiler. +Grammars can be compiled to parser and translator code in many different +formats. These components can then be embedded in applications written +in other programming languages. The formats currently supported are: +

+ + +

+The GF programming language is high-level and advanced, featuring +

+ + +

Getting help

+

+If you need some help with GF, the first places to start are the Tutorial and Reference pages. +The printed book contains all the material in the tutorial and some extra bits, and is the recommended reference for GF. +

+ +

+We run the IRC channel #gf on the Freenode network, where you are welcome to look for help with small questions or just start a general discussion. +IRC logs (in raw format) are available here. +If you have a larger question which the community may benefit from, we recommend you ask it on the mailing list. +

+ +

+

+Libraries are at the heart of modern software engineering. In natural language +applications, libraries are a way to cope with thousands of details involved in +syntax, lexicon, and inflection. The +GF resource grammar library has +support for an increasing number of languages, currently including +
