Translatify

A translation module for parallel corpus.

Methodology

By comparing the verses of Bible on differents languages, it's possible to observe that verses with "God" (english) will, probably, result on verses with "Deus" (portuguese), "하나님" (korean) and "神" (japanese) on these respective languages.

As this pattern repeats for many words so there is some logic to predict translations between words on these verses.

After getting regular/good accuracy on tests between english, portuguese, korean and japanese using Bible verses as source, the algorithm was tested using other sources (see assets/*.corpus.txt) to prove the method.

Terminology

Input - Language or word that will be translated

Output - Translation result or target language

Tokenizer - Class that performs text operations to clean and discover words on a given phrase

Parallel corpus - Set of parallel texts translated one by one organized by language (see assets/*.corpus.txt)

Dictionary - Set of words translated to another language (see assets/*.dict.txt)

Prediction - Attempt to translate a word to another language

Accuracy

How to use

import { Translatify } from 'translatify';

var translatify = new Translatify();

translatify.add('en', ['In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.', ...]);
translatify.add('pt', ['No princípio criou Deus os céus e a terra.', ...]);
translatify.add('ko', ['태초에 하나님이 천지를 창조하시니라', ...]);
translatify.add('ja', ['はじめに神は天と地とを創造された。', ...]);

translatify.predict(['God'], 'en', 'pt'); // returns ['Deus']
translatify.predict(['God'], 'en', 'ko', { similarity: 'output' }); // returns ['하나님이', '하나님의', '하나님과', ...]
translatify.predict(['God'], 'en', 'ja'); // returns ['神']
translatify.predict(['하나님이'], 'ko', 'en', { similarity: 'input' }); // returns ['God']

Conclusion

Translatify is not ready for production, but is a good start for anyone who wants write a program to predict translations.

God bless you.
