Teaching MT - An Indian Perspective

The different factors that affect the level of teaching of machine translation, both as a formal courseware and in an informal manner to students doing developmental and research projects can be identified as the background of the student, the state of machine translation research in the country, the language pattern followed in the education system and the motivation for the students in terms of higher studies and the development of the software industry in the multilingual setting. The paper mainly focuses on the teaching of machine translation in an Indian perspective that gives emphasis on teaching the subject to the students of Computer Science and Engineering.
