# Automatic word-level translation alignment of Ancient Greek and Portuguese parallel texts |
|
|
Translation alignment is the process of mapping translation equivalents between two texts in different languages. It can be performed on different granularity levels, form document, paragraph, |
|
|
sentence, and word/phrase levels. |
|
|
|
|
|
This model has been developed in the context of a project called **Linking Ancient Languages to Portuguese and Improving an Automatic Translation Alignment Model** |
|
|
(**Letras clássicas digitais: interligando línguas antigas ao português e aprimorando um modelo automático de alinhamento de tradução**). |

|
The main objective of the project was to develop an automatic translation aligner specifically for Ancient Greek |
|
|
and Brazilian Portuguese. This implied the following tasks: a) to generate manual alignments based on the gold |
|
|
standard guidelines, Ancient Greek texts with parallel Brazilian Portuguese translations, creating pairs of |
|
|
alignments aimed at b) the supervised training of automatic alignment models for the two languages, so that |
|
|
they can be used to create automatic alignments. The motivation for having an automatic aligner for |
|
|
Greek-Portuguese translations includes the possibility of generating a larger quantity of aligned texts for |
|
|
reading Ancient Greek by Portuguese speakers, expanding the dynamic lexicon relating to the two languages, |
|
|
as well as composing a digital corpus that can be used in other services. |
