Building a Hybrid Machine Translation System for Translating from English into Persian

Abstract

The incredible speed of contemporary modern world has made using machine translation/ MT an essential need. This paper aims at describing a hybrid machine translation system conducted for translation of some simple declarative English sentences into Persian. It is called a hybrid machine translation system because it employs a combination of both rule-based approaches and corpus-based approaches. The results of the research suggest that the given machine translation system produces more natural sentences which are compatible with Persian word order.
