This book is based on the author´s diploma thesis written for one of the largest medical companies in the world and describes the development of automated translators using ANTLR. The first chapters presents the reader with background information on the thesis problem and purpose. These chapters also provide a general insight into translators and the software used within the project. Furthermore, a description of the project schedule, milestones and used risk mitigation is given. Afterwards the book dives into the process of translator-development. This includes a study-example of a simple and a more complex translator. The book ends with a project-summary including the full source code in appendix. The book is dedicated to both technicians and students seeking an introduction to the development of translators and practical information about ANTLR.
