  Due to the nature of human language, historical documents are hard to
comprehend by contemporary people. This limits their accessibility to scholars
specialized in the time period in which the documents were written.
Modernization aims at breaking this language barrier by generating a new
version of a historical document, written in the modern version of the
document's original language. However, while it is able to increase the
document's comprehension, modernization is still far from producing an
error-free version. In this work, we propose a collaborative framework in which
a scholar can work together with the machine to generate the new version. We
tested our approach on a simulated environment, achieving significant
reductions of the human effort needed to produce the modernized version of the
document.
