EtranS- A Complete Framework for English To Sanskrit Machine Translation

Machine Translation has been a topic of research from the past many years. Many methods and techniques have been proposed and developed. However, quality of translation has always been a matter of concern. In this paper, we outline a target language generation mechanism with the help of language English-Sanskrit language pair using rule based machine translation technique [1]. Rule Based Machine Translation provides high quality translation and requires in depth knowledge of the language apart from real world knowledge and the differences in cultural background and conceptual divisions. A string of English sentence can be translated into string of Sanskrit ones. The methodology for design and development is implemented in the form of software named as “EtranS”.
