Even though, a lot of research has already been done on Machine Translation, translating complex sentences has been a stumbling block in the process.To improve the performance of machine translation on complex sentences, simplifying the sentences becomes imperative.In this paper, we present a rule based approach to address this problem by simplifying complex sentences in Hindi into multiple simple sentences.The sentence is split using clause boundaries and dependency parsing which identifies different arguments of verbs, thus changing the grammatical structure in a way that the semantic information of the original sentence stay preserved.
