An-Nakel's approach is complete different from word-by-word
translation. The sentence is the basic unit for the translation
process. An-Nakel is a rule-based processing system and operates
on a knowledge database. Each sentence is analyzed deeply.
An-Nakel determines the different syntagms and categories of
words. It attempts to analyze words in context and then builds
semantic links. The analysis process ends with an internal
representation of the sentence. The target text is generated
using the transfer method according to the grammar rules of the
target language. In the case of translation from English to
Arabic, the generated Arabic text can be displayed (printed)
with or without vowels.
An-Nakel uses four on-line dictionaries:
The General dictionary contains words in common use with
approximately 100,000 words and locutions. The Translation
Memory database contains idioms, locutions and translated
units. The Specific dictionary contains words used by
specialists in a selected subject area. The User Dictionary
contains words added or updated by the user.
The An-Nakel offers two operating modes:
- on line mode: the user may input and translate a document
sentence by sentence and check the meaning of polysemous words;
- batch mode: the user submits the entire source document (file)
and the target text is stored in a separate file. In both modes,
the target text can be checked or post-edited using the
Alternative Meaning process.
Additional Optional Subject Dictionaries available: Computer,
Banking, Business, Gas and Petroleum, Medicine, Aerospace, and
science.
