Résumé : Many of today's applications embed textual chat interfaces or work with multilingual textual information. The Multilingual Information Framework (MLIF) [ISO DIS 24616] is being designed in order to fulfill the multilingual needs of today's applications. Within our research activity for the MLIF standard, we developed the Multilingual-Assisted Chat Interface, which intends to help people communicate in virtual worlds with others who do not speak the same language and to offer new possibilities for learning foreign languages. By developing this application, we also wanted to show the advantages of using web services for externalizing computation: we used the same web service for two virtual worlds: Second Life and Solipsis. In this paper, we first propose a short analysis of social interactions and language learning in virtual worlds. Then, we describe in a technical way the features, architecture and development indications for the Multilingual-Assisted Chat Interface.

%X Many of today's applications embed textual chat interfaces or work with multilingual textual information. The Multilingual Information Framework (MLIF) [ISO DIS 24616] is being designed in order to fulfill the multilingual needs of today's applications. Within our research activity for the MLIF standard, we developed the Multilingual-Assisted Chat Interface, which intends to help people communicate in virtual worlds with others who do not speak the same language and to offer new possibilities for learning foreign languages.

%2 De nos jours, beaucoup d'applications embarquent des interfaces de clavardage, ou fonctionnent avec des informations textuelles multilingues. MLIF (MultiLingual Information Framework) [ISO DIS 24616] est en cours de développement, dans le but de satisfaire les besoin des applications d'aujourd'hui. Dans le cadre de notre activité de recherche pour le standard MLIF, nous avons développé l'interface de clavardage avec assistance multilingue, qui a pour vocation d'aider les utilisateurs à communiquer, dans les mondes virtuels, avec d'autres utilisateurs qui ne parlent pas la même langue, et d'offir de nouvelles possibilités pour apprendre des langues étrangères. En développant cette application, nous voulions également montrer les avantages de l'utilisations de services web pour externaliser les calculs: nous avons utilisé le même service web pour deux mondes virtuels distincts: Second Life et Solipsis. Dans cet article, nous proposons d'abord une courte analyse des interactions sociales et de l'apprentissage des langues dans les mondes virtuels. Ensuite, nous décrivons techniquement les fonctionnalités, l'architecture, et des indications de développement pour l'interface de clavardage avec assistance multilingue.
