Language settings

Language settings are used to define the behaviour of a given language in case of absence of grammatical categories. They are necessary to solve underspecification problems that normally appear when translating between languages that have very different grammatical structures.

When to use language settings

Language settings should be defined in two cases:

• to state grammatical redundancy (i.e., when the same grammatical structure represents several different linguistic phenomena); and
• to indicate how an absent grammatical category should be translated.
