Abstract:
The best results in the application of computer science systems to automatic translation are obtained in
word processing when texts pertain to specific thematic areas, with structures well defined and a concise and
limited lexicon. In this article we present a plan of systematic work for the analysis and generation of language
applied to the field of pharmaceutical leaflet, a type of document characterized by format rigidity and precision in
the use of lexicon. We propose a solution based in the use of one interlingua as language pivot between source
and target languages; we are considering Spanish and Arab languages in this case of application.
