Popis: This paper describes a multilingual text generation system in the domain of CAD/CAM software instructions for Bulgarian, Czech and Russian. Starting from a language-independent semantic representation, the system drafts natural, continuous text as typically found in software manuals. The core modules for strategic and tactical generation are implemented using the KPML platform for linguistic resource development and generation. Prominent characteristics of the approach implemented are a treatment of multilinguality that makes maximal use of the commonalities between languages while also accounting for their differences and a common representational strategy for both text planning and sentence generation.
