Abstract

The informal sentence is one of the most important factors to affect the translation precision ratio of a machine translation (MT) system. Especially, in a speech translation system which translates Chinese spoken language to a foreign language, the informal Chinese sentence processing becomes a key link of processing before translation. The characteristics of Chinese spoken language are summarized, and the strategies for Standardization Processing of Chinese Sentences (SPCS) are presented. The strategies combine the method of system automatic processing with the method to check the results with the help of human computer interaction. The paper discusses in detail the related problems in Chinese sentence analysis
