Dictionaries

All dictionaries were improved in the first stage of the project, with the help of mentors on Kypchak languages.

Disambiguation

To correctly discern the lemma and the morphology so as to be translated correctly into the target language, Apertium uses Constraint Grammar (CG). As part of the project, CG rules were added where necessary. Uzbek and Turkish in particular received extensive attention in this regard.

Future Plans

Uzbek lexicon still needs to be improved. Analysis of Uzbek can be problematic because of the unusual alphabet of the language along with non-standard forms, which also needs further improvement. More lexical selection, disambiguation and transfer rules are needed to achieve a greater translation quality on all pairs.
