Carabao Do-It-Yourself Machine Translation Kit is a fully customizable language creation toolkit. It allows creation of your own machine translation interlingua-modeled databases and using them on-the fly.
Highlights:
N-gram design which allows translation between any two languages in the database, rather than crafting translation pairs one-by-one. This is especially important for minority languages, creating pairs for which is not economically viable
Compatibility to the structure of paper dictionaries which allows mass import from regular human readable dictionaries
Openness of lexical database, including rules and basic definitions. Everything can be customized
Model and entities are grammar-independent and are suitable for any language without the need to reprogram or even recompile. Lexical data is stored in transactional database
Small footprint
Style sensitivity and control - ability to reshape the result so it will bear the same meaning but in different style. For example, the user may write a phrase using common words in French, and the program would translate it into official style in English.
Inline conversion of measures.
Built-in thesaurus for words and idioms found in the processed text.
Ability to trace the translation process.
