The Art and Science of Translating English to Singlish

Abstract

This paper describes the process of translating the mixture of Sinhala and English which is known as Singlish to grammatically accurate English which is done through the algorithm known as stemming. Furthermore, Transfer-based machine translation is the approach that’s being used to deliver the result of Singlish to English translation. Singlish in the current generation is widely used throughout Sri Lanka considering that it is Sri Lankan’s mother tongue, it makes sense that it’s used with the combination of English. While translating Singlish to English there are also general features that tend to be very useful such as translating English to Sinhala, scanning text from a PDF document, a dictionary used to seek out words, and most importantly a feature that suggests the correct word while typing the words that need to be translated. The base technology that is being used is MERN which to elaborate includes Mongo DB, Express JS, React, and Node.
