AINEVA is the association of Italian regions and autonomous provinces which include Alps, whose goal is to coordinate efforts that local members play in the prevention and information in the field of snow and avalanches. On a daily basis, AINEVA members compile and make available bulletins of conditions and avalanche forecasts written in Italian. In order to allow their consultation to non-Italian people (e.g. foreign tourists), AINEVA members provide translations of original bulletins into languages such as English, French, German and Slovenian. AINEVA and FBK started a 20-month collaboration at the end of 2009 with the goal of developing a system for the automatic translation of such bulletins into English, French and German.
