Apertium translation platform

Apertium is a free/open-source machine translation platform.

It is possible to use Apertium to build machine translation systems for a variety of language pairs; to that end, Apertium uses simple XML-based standard formats to encode the linguistic data needed (either by hand or by converting existing data), which are compiled using the provided tools into the high-speed formats used by the engine.



The Apertium architecture is being developed by the Transducens research group at the Departament de Llenguatges i Sistemes Informàtics of the Universitat d'Alacant in collaboration with Prompsit Language Engineering.

Apertium welcomes new developers: if you think you can improve the engine or the tools, or develop linguistic data for them, do not hesitate to contact them.

Google automatic translate

Google's free online language translation service instantly translates text, web pages or document on the fly.

Hello my friends, enter text, a webpage URL or upload a document (submit your file as a PDF, TXT, DOC, PPT, XLS or RTF)

If you're learning English, you can click the speaker icon to hear a spoken version of your translation. This feature is currently only available for short translations to English.



Google Translate is an automatic translator -- that is, it works without the intervention of human translators, using state-of-the-art technology instead. Most commercial machine-translation systems in use today have been developed using a rule-based approach, and require a lot of work to define vocabularies and grammars.

Google Translate system takes a different approach; feed the computer billions of words of text, both monolingual text in the target language, and aligned text consisting of examples of human translations between the languages. then apply statistical learning techniques to build a translation model.

Google Translate currently supports translation between any of 51 languages.
