Applications of transliteration editors in the context of Universal Digital Library (UDL) include entry of meta-data and diction- aries for Indian languages. In this paper we propose a simple approach for building transliteration editors for Indian languages using Unicode and by taking advantage of its rendering engine. We demonstrate the usefulness of the Unicode based approach to build transliteration editors for Indian languages, and report its advantages needing little maintenance and few entries in the mapping table, and ease of adding new features such as adding letters, to the transliteration scheme. We demonstrate the trans- literation editor for 9 Indian languages and also explain how this approach can be adapted for Arabic scripts.展开更多

With the guidance of Optimality Theory, this paper elaborates on the constraints that must be observed in transliteration to achieve Chinese phonological harmony from phonemic equivalents. It analyzes the ranking of constraints for structural acceptability of the loanwords.展开更多

For better performance, the queries are classified into transliterated words and non-transliterated words based on transliterated word identification model, and are further channeled to different mining processes. This paper is a pilot study on query classification for better translation mining performance, which is based on supervised classification and linguistic heuristics. The person name identification gets a precision of over 97%. Transliterated word translation mining shows satisfactory performance.展开更多
