This chapter proposes some uniform algorithmic methodology for finding interpolants in various logic. It operates with translations of non-classical logics into classical first-order theories and introduces so-called expansion interpolation. This leads us to find interpolants in the classical theories using the existing algorithms, which can then be translated back into non-classical theories. Two examples from modal logic are considered: quantified S5 and propositional S4.3. These logic lack ordinary interpolation but have expansion interpolation.

Keywords:   interpolant, expansion interpolation, SCAN, quantifiers elimination, non-classical logic
