Translating prepositions from Czech into Russian: challenges for the Machine Translation

Publication at Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Faculty of Arts |

Abstract

In this article we explore differences in preposition usage in Czech and Russian languages and how the Machine Translation (MT) system between the languages deals with prepositions. We focus on the errors that occur in preposition phrases.

Our study involves research on a parallel corpus for theoretical evidence and analysis of the output of the rule-based Machine Translation (RBMT) system for closely related languages Česílko and the Statistical MT (SMT) system Joshua from Czech into Russian.
