Re: [Mt-list] Computers translation in Africa / involving African languages
Professor Arvi Hurskainen at University of Helsinki has conducted a lot of research on language technology for Bantu languages and especially Swahili. Here are some links related to that research: - Helsinki Corpus of Swahili: http://www.aakkl.helsinki.fi/cameel/corpus/intro.htm - SALAMA - Swahili Language Manager http://www.njas.helsinki.fi/salama/ (includes a project on Swahili-to-English Machine Translation) - PhD thesis by Wanjiku Ng'ang'a: Word Sense Disambiguation of Swahili http://ethesis.helsinki.fi/julkaisut/hum/aasia/vk/nganga/ Best regards, Timo Honkela On Thu, 24 Aug 2006, Don Osborn wrote: I have updated a very modest presentation of some info relevant to MT in Africa at http://www.bisharat.net/Trans/ .

If Arabic counts, there's much work in the US on Arabic these days.

RE: [Mt-list] Computers translation in Africa / involving African languages

More ideal to add such a link. -Original Message- From: Robert Frederking [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 24, 2006 1:04 PM To: Don Osborn Cc: mt-list@eamt.org Subject: Re: [Mt-list] Computers translation in Africa / involving African languages If Arabic counts, there's much work in the US on Arabic these days.
