Abstract
A model of international electronic contracting is proposed whereby parties express contractual terms and conditions in a restricted form of their native language. This is parsed into a formalized language, called Candid, for transmission over the network. At the receiving end, the Candid representation is rephrased into a similarly restricted form of the receiver´s native language. An operating prototype is presented with examples in English, German, and Portuguese. Further extensions are discussed
