Machine Translation on Dravidian Languages

Abstract

The Dravidian languages are spoken all over the world. Despite their distinctiveness, Dravidian languages haven’t gotten much attention because there aren’t enough resources to handle tasks like translation that require language technology. Since Dravidian languages are largely spoken in southern India, machine translation is necessary. For those who speak these regional languages, this would improve information creation and access. It can be challenging to translate between languages, particularly that of Dravidian, because of lexical divergence, ambiguity, and other, lexical, syntactic and semantic issues. This research looks into a number of machine translation models for different languages, conducts a thorough literature review on the various machine translation techniques from earlier studies, and analyses their methodology. The major objective of this research is to evaluate the viability and effectiveness of a machine translation process for Dravidian languages.
