Abstract

Systems and methods for automated natural language translation take source natural language and translate it into a target natural language. The language translation is facilitated through the use of domain specific dictionaries, controlling grammar rules, and probability values associated with some dictionary entries. Domain specific dictionaries provide different translations of words depending on the context in which the words are used. Controlling grammar rules are used to supersede all other grammar rules to eliminate inaccurate and undesirable translations. Probability values are used to determine the likelihood a particular multi-word combination is a particular part of speech.
