Description
Summary:This paper describes the development of two prototype systems for machine translation between North Sámi and Lule Sámi. Experiments were conducted in rule-based machine translation (RBMT), using the Apertium platform, and statistical machine translation (SMT) using the Mosesdecoder. The experiments show that both approaches have their advantages and disadvantages, and that they can both make use of pre-existing linguistic resources. 1
