For each year, the financial law provides for and authorizes all State revenue and expenditure and presents all the programs aimed at attaining economic, social and cultural objectives. The financial law is applied in the Budget Domain which requires a strong knowledge management. In presence of two languages (French and English in our case) bilingual interfaces need hard efforts of language translation.

When organizations are facing language translation issues, here are some mistakes to avoid:


In this chapter, we specify a system allowing users to communicate with RUNNING application and to improve their bilingual skills by learning the vocabulary related to State budget management. An ontological system is developed to bring adequate terminology and knowledge to non-expert users in bilingualism. The term ontology corresponds to a formal structure expressed in different models and different degrees. The budgetary ontology represented has three stages;


This decomposition is aimed to conceptualize the domain in such a way that data semantics is well described and understood. Reasoning mechanisms are also précised for users' experience.

The public sector area is characterized by a wide range of task and work arrangements. Some processes in financial applications are still limited to simple processes of registering, accounting and calculating. RUNNING application is provided with value-added features facilitating users to be accommodated with budgetary concepts in French and in English simultaneously.

Besides, decision-making in public administration occurs at organizational or policy level but it is also characteristic of its operative work. Thereby, public agents must be able to access information and knowledge to help their tasks, so that decision-making can take advantage of this evolution.

RUNNING is an application in which the user finds material of Computer-Aided Learning to be more bilingual by understanding complex terms, as far as the State budget management is concerned. Web and open source development characters give it the ability to be migrated in other technical domains where the language translation can represent a difficult problem to be solved by users. This is an interesting way of learning words and notions tied to a specific field of activities.
