Explanation:-
Machine translation (MT) is automated
translation. It is the process by which computer
software is used to translate a text from one
natural language (such as English) to another
target language (such as chinese).

4. The first set of proposals for computer based
machine translation was presented in 1949
by Warren Weaver
These proposals were based on information
theory
On 7 January 1954 the Georgetown-IBM
experiment was held in New York at the head
office of IBM
This was the first public demonstration of a
machine translation system
Early systems used large bilingual dictionaries
and hand-coded rules for fixing the word order
in the final output

6. ADVANTAGES
1. Faster than that of human translation
2. Machine translation can generate thousands of words
each minute.
3. Cost
4. Adaptation.
DISADVANTAGES
Accuracy:-original document will not be 100%
accurate.

8. Rules-based systems use a combination of
language and grammar rules plus dictionaries for
common words. Specialist dictionaries are
created to focus on certain industries or
disciplines. Rules-based systems typically deliver
consistent translations with
accurate terminology when trained with specialist
dictionaries.
Statistical machine translation (SMT) is
a machine translation paradigm
where translations are generated on the basis
of statistical model whose parameters are
derived from the analysis of bilingual text
