A Prototype Machine Translation System Between Turkmen and Turkish

Abstract. In this work, we present a prototype system for translation of Turk-men texts into Turkish. Although the MT is a very hard task, it is easier to im-plement a MT system between very close language pairs which have similar syntactic structure and word order. We implement a direct translation system between Turkmen and Turkish which performs a word-to-word transfer. We al-so use a Turkish Language Model to find the most probable Turkish sentence among all possible candidate translations generated by our system. 1
