Dear Professors,
my name is Eric T. Tanke. I am now preparing a PhD thesis in the chair of
Machine Translation under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Haller on "Machine
translation of legal texts in the language pair German-French". At the next
25th october I will hold a presentation at the Chair of Machine Translation of
our faculty in Saarbrücken on the results of a machine translation test of some
of sentences from my corpus with Moses.
I address you today on the advice of my doctoral thesis supervisor, Prof. Dr.
Haller. First of all I became familiar with the operation and description of
the main components of MOSES after visiting this link
http://www.statmt.org/moses/index.php?n=Main.HomePage where i found the
necessary informations about this SMT-System. I pursue the goal using the
online translation based on Moses to perform a machine translation of some
sentences from my corpus and then evaluate the outputs. The analysis of these
results should be made from a linguistic and a translation perspective. In
addition, I will do the same operation using a rule-based system, in this case
CAT II and then I would like to compare the outputs with the previously
performed machine translation with Moses.Unfortunately, I am facing a
methodological problem. On the homepage of Moses there is no online translation
for the language pair French-German. The main reason of this email is to know
how you can help me. I would like to use Moses to automatically train
translation Models for the language German-French. I found on the Internet a
collection of translated texts from German into French. In fact I took these
texts from the website european court of justice
(http://curia.europa.eu/jcms/jcms/j_6/), where all recents judgements are
available in all EU official languages. Is it possible that you create for my
research purposes some basic components for this translation direction? I
noticed on the homepage of MOSES that all efforts to improve this system are
welcome.
Sincerely.
Eric Tanké
