Web-based English-Sinhala translator in action

Machine translation has been a potential solution for addressing the language barrier. In line with this, we have developed English to Sinhala machine translation system that can be accessed through the Internet. The translation system runs on a Web sever and can be accessed by an ordinary Web client. The core of the translation system contains seven modules, namely, English Morphological analyzer, English parser, Translator, Sinhala Morphological generator, Sinhala parser, Transliteration module and three Lexicon Databases. This core system has already been tested and used on standalone machines. The current project has extended the core system with the use of Prolog Server Pages to provide online access thereby opening the service to a wider audience.
