Automatic language Translator

Automatic language Translator

        Automatic language Translator was a machine translation system that converted Russian documents into English.it is used an optical disk that stored 170,000 word-for-word and statement -for-statement translations at high speed.

The translator was installed in 1959 , dramatically upgraded in 1964,and was eventually replaced by a mainframe running SYSTRAN in 1970. The translator began in a June 1953 contract from the US Navy to the ITC of Los Angeles. Then the system was developed by Gilbert King with a team included Louis Ridenour. It evolved into a 16-inch plastic disk , only the 4 inch only used as a storage that had an access about 1 Mbit/sec.

How does it work? This translator software system interprets the structure of sentences in the source language and generates a translation based on the rules of the target language. ⦁ Neural machine translation uses an artificially produced neural network. ⦁ This networks require a fraction of the memory needed by statistical methods. ⦁ It is the process by which computer software used to translate a text from one natural language to any another language. Applications:

⦁ It is possible to translate large swathes of text in a very short time. ⦁ It can translate text , documents and websites from one language into another. ⦁ It have been used in many applications scenario such as business travel ,tourism ,cross-language information retrieval and so on. ⦁ In terms of object of translation , there are written language-object oriented text translation and spoken language-object phonetic translation. ⦁ Machine translation is better than human translation because human translation is complex and requires time.
