Apertium: Open source machine translation
By Jimmy O’Regan
Apertium is an open source shallow-transfer machine translation (MT) system. In addition to the translation engine, it also provides tools for manipulating linguistic data, and translators designed to run using the engine. At the time of writing, there are stable bilingual translators available for English-Catalan, English-Spanish, Catalan-Spanish, Catalan-French, Spanish-Portuguese, Spanish-Galician, and French-Spanish; as well as monolingual translators that translate from Esperanto to Catalan and to Spanish, and from Romanian to Spanish. There are also a number of unstable translators in various stages of development. (A list of language pairs, updated daily, is available on the Apertium wiki).
