MaTra
Translating Languages ....
Revolutionizing Lives................!

India is linguistically rich nation with 22 national languages recognized by the constitution of India, of which Hindi is official Union Language. Besides these there are 844 different dialects that are practiced in various parts of the country. Being a developing nation India is in great need of information revolution for the inclusive growth of the society residing in geographically different areas and speaking different languages. Internet has broken the geographical barrier but the language barrier remains unanswered as only less than 10% of population speaks English. ‘MaTra2’ is an attempt to break the same barrier. This current version of Matra2 is a step towards the mission of Information Revolution to revolutionalize millions of lives in this nation.

MaTra2 is a Fully-Automatic Indicative English-Hindi Machine Translation System. It translates the text in English into Hindi. Though the system is designed to support any domain, currently it is focusing ‘News’ and ‘Medical’ domains only. System works well for the simple sentences. We are working towards translation of other types of sentences such as compound, complex, interrogative, exclamatory, etc. These advances will be integrated into the system soon.
