Issues in Machine Translation—A Case Study of the Kashmiri Language

Abstract

Machine translation has emerged as a promising research area, attracting considerable interest from researchers all over the world. Many techniques have been developed for machine translation of various languages around the world, which can be used alone or in combination. Besides that, there are several languages, including Kashmiri, in which little work has been done in terms of machine translation. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the Kashmiri language, including its history, character set, and writing systems. This paper presents a brief introduction to machine translation and core issues associated with machine translation, with Kashmiri as a participating language. The study presented in this paper will be extremely useful to researchers involved in machine translation of the Kashmiri language.
