Experimental Translator Spanish - Zapotec

Experimental translator "Spanish - Zapoteco del isthmus"

- This project is personal, non-profit, and does not receive support from the government or institutions. -

The Spanish experimental translation system - Isthmus Zapotec only works with Isthmus Zapotec, other variants of Zapotec may not be interpreted in the same way and therefore the translations of this system may not make sense for these variants.

Currently the system has about 4500 tuples in Spanish and Zapotec, which are obtained from books by Zapotec writers and poets, who take care of the language.

This automatic translator is a mathematical approach to the grammatical analysis of the Zapotec rules of the isthmus (Juchitán and surroundings); And since Zapotec is a language rich in grammar, it should be taken into account that there are rules that are difficult to interpret and generate mathematically, so this system may have translation errors, derived from the inconsistency of the lexicon, spelling, or the lack of grammatical rules to describe writing, for which we ask for your support to understand this situation, which we try to improve every day to have better translations, using the fastest machine translation techniques and adapting them to Zapotec, without leaving aside from the autonomy of the language, the extraction of grammar rules, the updating of existing rules and the continuous learning of it.
