English ↔ Luo Machine Translation

Submitted by Guy on Tue, 2010-05-11 13:07




This is a rudimentary machine translation system for the language pair English - Luo (Dholuo). Its backbone is the MOSES statistical machine translation package. The system was trained on the Luo version of the New Testament. While it is therefore relatively capable of translating religious material, it is not very well suited for other registers.

From English to Luo
(e.g. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the son of God.)
From Luo to English
(e.g. En ng'a moloyo piny? Mana jalo moyie ni Yesu en wuod Nyasaye.)

A detailed description of this system can be found in the paper "A Knowledge-Light Approach to Luo Machine Translation and Part-of-Speech Tagging" by Guy De Pauw, Naomi Maajabu and Peter Waiganjo Wagacha.

Lingala Diacritic Correction

Submitted by Guy on Mon, 2009-04-27 12:45
URL: 
http://lingala.svn.sourceforge.net/
Description: 

The problem with using web texts for many languages is that many people do not have the ability to enter diacritics or characters from extended
character sets from their keyboard, and so they simply leave them off (and so Lingala "likɔngá" becomes "likonga"), or use incorrect diacritics
(e.g. using acute/grave in place of the macron in Hawaiian, Maori, etc.). Information is usually lost in this conversion, and indeed most languages
that use diacritics have many pairs of words that differ only in diacritical marks; these distinctions are lost when texts are written in plain ASCII.
The aim of charlifter is to undo this lossy conversion, and "lift" the text back to its proper form.
