--------------------------------------
Summary: Integrated Transliteration
Key: JOSHUA-341
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JOSHUA-341
Project: Joshua
Issue Type: Task
Components: core, language packs
Reporter: Tommaso Teofili
Many of the language packs released translated from languages with non-Latin
scripts. Words that cannot be translated are therefore pushed through to the
translation and cannot even be read by someone who doesn't know that script. At
the same time, many untranslatable words are simply transliterated words. For
example, an Arabic word might be an English word (like a name or technical
term) that has simply been written in Arabic. These words can be
transliterated. It would be good to add built-in transliteration models that
can be applied to all out-of-vocabulary words and enabled for certain
languages. Transliteration models can be built over the same bitext using
techniques like Sajjad, Fraser, and Schmid (2012) [1].
