| Standardization of Localization using MT systems and More...

| During Localization a need is felt for standardization of translation of words during localization. As of now lack of an exhaustive list of standardized usage leads to various problems for l10n contributors. The idea is to create an exhaustive database for entries with their corresponding suggested translation. This should also work with small phrases. This project aims at creating a tool which uses MT based on existing work. Simply put the idea is to take the existing l10n work an put it through a statistical machine translation system like Moses. Based on this a list is created with preferred translations for the English words. Corrections to this are made if any. Organize it into a database of sorts and design a small web portal that will help people contributing to l10n find words and preferred translations real easy. This will be done for all languages. In addition to this quality of suggestions for existing strings compared to localized strings will be checked and find if any inconsistencies exist in the localized strings
