Machine Translation of Telugu Singular Pronoun Inflections to Sanskrit

Inflections in Telugu plays a crucial role in maintaining the meaning of the sentence unchanged though the word order is changed. This is possible since inflections are the internal part of the word. Inflecting nouns and pronouns is customary in Telugu. Main attention is given to inflected pronoun translation in this paper. Various categories of inflections and the ways of translation of pronouns are discussed in detail. For analysis, identification and translation of pronoun inflections, a Morphological Analysis System (MAS) that can perform forward and reverse morphology is developed for Machine Translation (MT) (Telugu (Source Language—SL) to Sanskrit (Target Language—TL)).
