[Corpora-List] starting a machine translation project

[Francis Bond]

G'day,

There was some work on Indonesian MT in the CICC project
<http://www.cicc.or.jp/english/kyoudou/mt.html>, which ended up with a
fairly useful lexicon Indonesian-English on CD-ROM.  If you email CICC
then you should be a be able to get a copy.  There are two relevant
CDs, the Indonesian one, and the terminological one, which includes a
technical lexicon for English, Malay, Thai, Indonesian, Chinese  and
Japanese.

A lexicon is essential for rule- based MT and also a useful tool for
aligning and backing-off in statistical MT.
