The Apertium Turkic working group includes everyone who works on Turkic-language resources as part of the Apertium project. Resources we develop include not just Machine Translation systems, but their underlying components which can be repurposed, including morphological transducers, disambiguators, and dictionaries.

Translation pairs

We have done quite a bit of work on Machine Translation systems involving Turkic languages. This section provides a short overview of some of them, roughly in order of how well they work.

Released

  • Our Kazakh-Tatar system was developed largely by Ilnar, who did the majority of work on it as his GSoC 2012 project. The project was overseen by Jonathan, who did a lot of work on the transducers (especially Kazakh), and Fran. The system was deemed production-ready and released during summer of 2013, and work is ongoing to increase its accuracy.
