Machine Translation Training Tool (MTTT) -- Gtk-based version

Machine translation made easy for human translators!

MTTT is an under development post-editing suite which aims to improve the translators experience with machine translation tools such as moses. It provides the user with a graphical user interface to:

  • Work with the moses machine translation pipeline.
  • Apply evaluation metrics such as BLEU.
  • Post-edit the obtained machine translation.

Features

  • Portable (Windows / Linux)
  • Friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI) for MOSES.
  • Use machine translation tool MOSES, post-edit the output and run evaluation metrics.

Dependencies

Source code

About Linux
  • You should link /bin/sh to /bin/bash and not to bin dash. To do that:
    • Check the link:
     ls -l /bin/sh
    
    • If /bin/sh is a link to /bin/dash, change it to /bin/bash.
     sudo mv /bin/sh /bin/sh.orig
     sudo ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh
    

This is necessary to use the redirection commands used by MOSES commands.

On Ubuntu
  • MOSES (Install with "--with-mm" and "--install-scripts" flags)

  • To install its dependencies run

     python ubuntu_install.py
    
On Windows using Cygwin
  • MOSES (Install with "--with-mm" and "--install-scripts" flags)

  • To install Cygwin and its dependencies run

     python cygwin_install.py
    
On Windows

Binaries (portable)

More details on this soon!

Status

  • Under development. Currently everything is working but we need a better GUI design and add robustness (strict error handling).

python main.py
