Automatic translation of Vietnamese simple sentences based on UNL

Abstract

The purpose of the Universal Networking Language (UNL) is to allow people to access information on the Internet in their own language. UNL has been studied and applied to 48 languages. UNL system consists of two main components: EnConverter and DeConverter. EnConverter is used for converting a text from the source language to UNL, and DeConverter is used for converting a text from UNL to a target language. The UNL system has not yet been developed for Vietnamese. In this paper, we present the process of encoding a Vietnamese simple sentence into its corresponding UNL expression. We propose the algorithm using enconversion rules generate attributes and solve other relations. The achievement of result that we were able to create the CoDeVie tool to perform encode function for some cases of Vietnamese simple sentence.
