Machine translation with North Saami as a pivot language
نویسندگان
چکیده
Translating from a majority language into several minority languages implies duplicating both translation and terminology work. Our assumption is that a manual translation into one of the languages, and machine translation from this one into the other ones, will both cut translation time and be beneficial for work on terminology. We test the functionality of North Saami as a pivot language, with subsequent machine translation into South, Lule and Inari Saami.

On the Importance of Pivot Language Selection for Asian Language Translation
Recent research on multilingual statistical machine translation focuses on the usage of pivot languages in order to overcome resource limitations for certain language pairs. Due to the richness of available language resources, English is in general the pivot language of choice. In this paper, we investigate the appropriateness of Asian languages as pivot languages. Experimental results using st...

متن کاملRevisiting Pivot Language Approach for Machine Translation
This paper revisits the pivot language approach for machine translation. First, we investigate three different methods for pivot translation. Then we employ a hybrid method combining RBMT and SMT systems to fill up the data gap for pivot translation, where the sourcepivot and pivot-target corpora are independent. Experimental results on spoken language translation show that this hybrid method s...
متن کاملNeural Machine Translation with Pivot Languages
While recent neural machine translation approaches have delivered state-of-the-art performance for resource-rich language pairs, they suffer from the data scarcity problem for resource-scarce language pairs. Although this problem can be alleviated by exploiting a pivot language to bridge the source and target languages, the source-to-pivot and pivot-to-target translation models are usually inde...
متن کاملImproving Arabic-Chinese Statistical Machine Translation using English as Pivot Language
We present a comparison of two approaches for Arabic-Chinese machine translation using English as a pivot language: sentence pivoting and phrase-table pivoting. Our results show that using English as a pivot in either approach outperforms direct translation from Arabic to Chinese. Our best result is the phrase-pivot system which scores higher than direct translation by 1.1 BLEU points. An error...
