The application discloses a Bantu language geographical name
machine translation method and related device, and relates to the field of
language translation. The method comprises the following steps: adopting a forward maximum matching
algorithm and a reverse maximum matching
algorithm to divide a Bantu language geographical name
word group to be translated into letter combinations, and respectively calculating
mutual information values of the obtained corresponding forward letter combination division result and reverse letter combination division result; determining an intermediate division result according to the comparison result of the
mutual information values, and using a Bantu language Chinese translation and writing table to transliterate the intermediate division result to obtain a
transliteration result. The application cuts the
word group to be translated, obtains the intermediate division result which can be directly compared with the Bantu language Chinese translation and writing table for accurate proper name
transliteration, and has high correlation between adjacent word groups, thereby solving the problem of proper name
transliteration in Bantu language geographical name translation, enabling the
machine translation model to independently perform Bantu language geographical name translation, reducing the human consumption during geographical name generation, and improving the
machine translation efficiency.
