TJHSST Computer Systems Lab Senior Research Project Development of a German-English Translator 2007-2008
Felix Zhang · 2008
Machine language translation as it stands today relies primarily on rule-based methods, which use a direct dictionary translation and at best attempts to rearrange the words in a sentence to follow the translation language’s grammar rules to allow for better parsing on the part of the user. This project seeks to implement a rule-based translation from German to English, for users who are only fluent in one of the languages. For more flexibility, the program will implement limited statistical techniques to determine part of speech and morphological information.
