Porting Moses to Android would be interesting. I think that the Android NDK is improving so it could be more feasible nowadays. There are several speech translation apps available on the market (e.g. Jibbigo) that demonstrate that MT is certainly viable on Android (and iOS) devices without a client/server model. And particularly looking at the current generation phones (quad core, 2 gb RAM), it's certainly possible to have an Android-specific decoder. However, the Moses decoder has lots of built-in functionality that may be a bit heavy to port (and test).

Kenneth Heafield mentioned flashing his phone to Gentoo Linux and installing Moses on it about a year ago. While this doesn't address the NDK and JNI issues, perhaps he might be able to answer a few questions about compiling Moses on ARM architectures.

Hi MG Jang,

I'm not sure there is a way to port moses decoder to run on Android, but I'm curious, why do you need to do that at the first place?

In my opinion, decoding is quite a heavy task, time and memory consuming that I'm not sure if an Android device is able to handle. So far the translation apps I've seen follow the client-server model, where the decoding takes place on server side.

Maybe your task is supposed to be extremely light-weight?
