Currency Word Translation from Pa-Oh to Myanmar

Abstract

In Natural Language Processing (NLP), Machine translation (MT) is the application of computers to the task of translating texts from one natural language to another. In Natural Languages of Myanmar and Pa-Oh language, word boundary identification is not easy between words with spaces. In this system, Pa-Oh to Myanmar language translation framework is proposed. Word tokenizing plays a vital role in most Natural Language Processing. Syllabification is also a important task in Pa-Oh. Working directly with characters does not help. It is therefore useful to syllabify texts first. The first step is entering the Pa-Oh words. And then the system syllabified the input word by looking up syllable files. After tokenizing the input words, each word examines whether they are in word list/dictionary or not quickly. Finally it can display correct currency words of Myanmar with the same meaning of Pa-Oh language.
