First, it carries out a full grammatical review in accordance with the standard rules of the language concerned. Secondly, it checks compliance with the Federal Chancellery’s editorial and typographic guidelines, for example in relation to capitalisation, dates, numbers, abbreviations, quotation marks, dashes, spacing and other drafting conventions. The system supports four languages: French (Switzerland) German (Switzerland) Italian (Switzerland) British English For each issue identified, the GPT provides: the type of error the location in the text the context the original wording the proposed correction the reference to the applicable rule This tool is particularly suitable for reviewing: reports and dispatches communications and institutional documentation normative or quasi-normative texts factsheets and multilingual administrative content It does not freely rewrite texts and does not intervene in subjective stylistic preferences. It identifies only objective breaches of grammar or of the applicable editorial rules.
