An utterance in any of various languages is processed to derive a predicted label using a generated grammar. The grammar is suitable for deriving meaning of utterances from several languages (polyglot). The utterance is processed by an encoder using word embeddings. The encoder and a decoder process the utterance using the polyglot grammar to obtain a machine-readable result. The machine-readable result is well-formed based on accounting for re-entrances of intermediate variable references. A machine then takes action on the machine-readable result. Ambiguity is reduced by the decoder by the well-formed machine-readable result. Sparseness of the generated polyglot grammar is reduced by using a two-pass approach including placeholders which are ultimately replaced by edge labels.
