Mohammed Abdulmalik Ali · International Journal of ADVANCED AND APPLIED SCIENCES · 2016
It is ironical to note that worldwide the Internet content in the Arabic language is mere 1%, whereas 5% of the world population speaks Arabic.This speaks of the disproportionate presence of on-line content of Arabic language as compared to other languages which may be due to many reasons including a lack of experts in the field of the Arabic language.This research study will investigate the impact of such Machine Translation (MT) software and TM tools that are widely used by the Arab community for their academic and business purposes.The study aims at finding whether it is possible to bring a paradigm shift from Arabic Localization to Arabic Globalization; hence, facilitating the usage of NLP techniques in the human interface with the computer.For this study; a few machine translation software (e.g.SYSTRAN, IBM Watson) shall be studied for their content and applications, to determine their usage without human intervention and retaining the meaning of the original text.
