Abstract

In spite of its inclusion in the scheduled languages of India and being one of the official languages of Assam, significant research and work is yet to be reported for machine translation of Bodo. The primary objective of the proposed system in the paper, is to develop an English to Bodo Phrase-Based Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) system using Moses, and Tourism domain English to Bodo parallel corpora. The performance of the proposed system using the BLEU score is 65.09.
