Rapid Development of Translation Tools: Application to Persian and Turkish

The Computing Research laboratory (CRL) is developing a machine translation toolkit that allows rapid deployment of translation capabilities. This toolkit has been used to develop several machine translation systems, including a Persian-English and a TurkishEnglish system, which will be demonstrated. We present the architecture of these systems as well as the development methodology.
