Description : Machine translation engine for related languages
Apertium is an open-source shallow-transfer machine translation engine,
initially aimed at related-language pairs.
.
It uses finite-state transducers for lexical processing, hidden Markov models
for part-of-speech tagging, and finite-state based chunking for structural
transfer.
.
The system is largely based upon systems already developed by the Transducens
group at the Universitat d'Alacant, such as interNOSTRUM (Spanish-Catalan,
http://www.internostrum.com/welcome.php) and Traductor Universia
(Spanish-Portuguese, http://traductor.universia.net).
.
It will be possible to use Apertium to build machine translation systems for
a variety of related-language pairs simply providing the linguistic data needed in
the right format.
.
There is a non-free package (apertium-ca-es) that provides the data neededto
translate between Spanish and Catalan.
