The purpose of the '''Wikipedia Machine Translation Project''' is to develop ideas, methods and tools that can help translate Wikipedia articles from one language to another (particularly out of English and into languages with small numbers of fluent speakers). | |||
==Motivation== | |||
<br>Small languages can't produce articles as fast as English wikipedia because the number of wikipedians is too low. The solution for this problem is the translation of English wikipedia. But, some languages will not have enough translators. Machine Translation can improve the productivity of the community. | |||
:But manual translation can be added later, for a more accurate text. | |||
==TradWiki/WikiTran== | |||
<br> TradWiki/WikiTran (WikipediaTranslator/WikiTranslator/BabelWiki) is a wiki that will be coded to help wikipedians translate articles from English to other languages. | |||

<br>A Translation Memory is a computer program that uses a database of old translations to help a human translator. If this approach is followed, WikipediaTranslator will need the following features: | |||

Help us develop tools for translating Wikipedia. | ||
The purpose of the Wikipedia Machine Translation Project is to develop ideas, methods and tools that can help translate Wikipedia articles from one language to another (particularly out of English and into languages with small numbers of fluent speakers). Motivation
TradWiki/WikiTran
LicenseAll code and data should be released under a free licence (GPL for code, GFDL for text). Advantages
TradWiki/WikiTran - Translation memory approach
Lexical, syntactic and semantic analysis of wikipedia content
Information about the most popular sentences and expressions can be used to create a translation database of such expressions so translators don't need to repeat a translation.
