Abstract:
This paper presents the development of
bidirectional machine translation system of Myanmar-
English. This Machine Translation system is based on
Transfer Based Approach. It contains three stages: (1)
source sentence analysis stages, (2) the structure of
source sentence to the structure of target sentence
transferstages and (3) target sentence generation
stages.In the analysis stage, input source sentence is
parsed with the help of existing parsers. To change
from source sentence structure to target sentence
structure, tree to tree transformation approach is
applied by using Synchronous Context Free Grammar
(SCFG) rules. Morphological synthesis is also
considered to improve smooth translationin the
generation stage because Myanmar language is
amorphologically rich language.
