machine-translator

machine-translator

is a nodejs module that uses statistical machine translation to translate between two different languages. the module is loosely based off of the IBM model 1 algorithm and has been tested using english.

Install:

$ npm install machine-translator

Usage:

This module requires:

• A native corpus of text (i.e. english text file)
• A matching foreign corpus of text (i.e. german text file)

Example

var Translator = require('machine-translator');

var t = new Translator();

t.train('./tests/data/shortEN.txt', './tests/data/shortDE.txt');

t.translate('cat'); // { die: 0.5, Katze: 0.5 }
t.translate('the'); // { der: 0.2, Hund: 0.2, die: 0.2, Katze: 0.2, Bus: 0.2 }
t.translate('car'); // Error: No matches found!
