Myanmar-English Bidirectional Machine Translation System by Using Transfer Based Approach

This paper presents the development ofbidirectional machine translation system of Myanmar-English. This Machine Translation system is based onTransfer Based Approach. It contains three stages: (1)source sentence analysis stages, (2) the structure ofsource sentence to the structure of target sentencetransferstages and (3) target sentence generationstages.In the analysis stage, input source sentence isparsed with the help of existing parsers. To changefrom source sentence structure to target sentencestructure, tree to tree transformation approach isapplied by using Synchronous Context Free Grammar(SCFG) rules. Morphological synthesis is alsoconsidered to improve smooth translationin thegeneration stage because Myanmar language isamorphologically rich language
