Rancang bangun aplikasi penerjemah bahasa Indonesia – Jawa menggunakan Levenshtein Distance

Abstract

The Indonesian-Javanese language translator application is a technological solution designed to facilitate cross-language communication between the two languages. This study proposes the integration of the Levenshtein Distance method within a web application developed using the Laravel framework. Levenshtein Distance is used to measure the similarity between words in Indonesian and Javanese, taking into account basic operations such as insertion, deletion, and character substitution. The use of the Laravel framework allows for more structured and efficient application development. This application is equipped with additional features such as user management, session handling, and database integration to store and manage the word dictionary and translation results. An intuitive user interface makes it easy for users to input text, select source and target languages, and view translation results directly. Development using Laravel also enables better application scalability and easier code management. Test results show that the Levenshtein Distance algorithm achieves an 80% accuracy rate in suggesting vocabulary, which falls under the "good" category. Meanwhile, results from Beta testing (Closed Beta) showed a percentage score of 72.5%.
