Abstract

A computer-based method and system for monolingual document development, which includes the steps of entering into a text editor input text in a source language, checking the input text against vocabulary source language constraints, and providing interactive feedback relating to the input text if non-constrained source language is present. The method and system also includes the steps of checking for syntactic grammatical errors and semantic ambiguities in the source text, and providing interactive feedback to remove syntactic grammatical errors and semantic ambiguities in the source text.
