The invention discloses a
machine translation method and a related device for a class and graphic geographical name, and relates to the field of language translations. The method comprises the following steps: carrying out letter combination division on a class and graphic geographical name
phrase to be translated by adopting a forward maximum matching
algorithm and a reverse maximum matching
algorithm; respectively calculating the
mutual information value of the obtained corresponding forward letter combination division result and the
mutual information value of the obtained corresponding reverse letter combination division result; and according to a comparison result of the
mutual information values, determining an intermediate division result, and performing
transliteration on the intermediate division result by using the class and graph Chinese
translation table to obtain a
transliteration result. According to the method, the to-be-translated phrases are segmented to obtain the intermediate division result which can directly perform accurate proper-name
transliteration according to a class and graph Chinese
translation table and has high association degree between adjacent phrases, so that the proper-name transliteration problem in class and graph geographical name translation is solved, a
machine translation model can independently perform class and graph geographical name translation, and the translation efficiency is improved. The manpower consumption during place name generation is reduced, and the
machine translation efficiency is improved.
