Tommaso Teofili commented on JOSHUA-341:
----------------------------------------
thanks [~thammegowda], maybe we can use it or port it to a Java version so that
we can more easily integrate that.
> 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
> Priority: Major
> Labels: gsoc2019
>
> 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].
