The segment captures events preceding the installation and subsequent unveiling of the memorial statue of French historian and Slavonic scholar Ernest Denis on Lesser Town Square in Prague. Members of the Commission for the Construction of Denis´s Memorial use a maquette to find the best place for the statue. The event is witnessed by the artist, the sculptor Karel Dvořák. A shot of Dvořák in his studio in the courtyard of a house on Janáček Embankment in Smíchov, Prague. Digging works for the pedestal followed by the unveiling of the memorial on 27 October 1928, the eve of the tenth anniversary of the Czechoslovak Republic. President Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk, Minister of Education Milan Hodža, Prague Mayor Karel Baxa, General Jan Syrový, MP Antonín Uhlíř, French General Eugene Mittelhauser, French politician Alfred Oberkirch and others are present on the grandstand.

The system Česílko (language data and software tools) was first developed as an answer to a growing need of translation and localisation from one source language to many target languages. The starting system belonged to the Shallow Parse, Shallow Transfer Rule-Based Machine Translation – (RBMT) paradigm and it was designed primarily for translation of related languages. The latest implementation of the system uses a stochastic ranker; so technically it belongs to the hybrid machine translation paradigm, using stochastic methods combined with the traditional Shallow Transfer RBMT methods. The system has been stripped of the accompanying language resources due to copyright restrictions. The data that is available is just for demonstrative purposes.
Chared is a software tool which can detect character encoding of a text document provided the language of the document is known. The language of the text has to be specified as an input parameter so that the corresponding language model can be used. The package contains models for a wide range of languages (currently 57 --- covering all major languages). Furthermore, it provides a training script to learn models for additional languages using a set of user supplied sample html pages in the given language. The detection algorithm is based on determining similarity of byte trigrams vectors. In general, chared should be more accurate than other character encoding detection tools with no language constraints. This is an important advantage allowing precise character decoding needed for building large textual corpora. The tool has been used for building corpora in American Spanish, Arabic, Czech, French, Japanese, Russian, Tajik, and six Turkic languages consisting of 70 billions tokens altogether.
