Abstract
This paper is based on the Evaluation of English-to-Urdu Machine Translation. Evaluation measures the quality characteristic of the Machine Translation output and is based on two approaches: Human Evaluation and Automatic Evaluation. In this paper, we are mainly concentrating over Human Evaluation. Machine Translation is an emerging research area in which human beings play a very crucial role. Since language is so vast and because of its diverse nature, the accuracy is not maintained. To maintain this accuracy, Human Evaluation is taken as a base. Human Evaluation can be used with different parameters to judge the quality of sentences.
