A simple present and past sentences machine translation from Arabic language (AL) to English language

摘要

The Arabic language is a collection of spoken dialects and a standard written language. The dialects show phonological, morphological, lexical, and syntactic. Differences, although the standard written language is the same throughout the Arab world. The present work reports our attempt in developing a bi-lingual Machine Translation tool for simple present and past sentences in an elementary school domain. The work described here is part of an ongoing research to automate the translation of user interfaces of knowledge-based systems. Our project tries to translate from a well-structured Arabic simple present and past sentence into a well-structured English sentence, by using a dictionary to translate a single word, and a simple lexicon consists of word categories and the meaning relative to categories in appropriate format. The domain area is an Arabic-English dictionary and a set of well-structured Arabic sentences from many textbooks in an elementary school.
