Typology Challenges and the Status of Machine Translation from Arabic to Persian
Abstract
Perhaps devoting of human affairs to machines is a distinctive feature of the new era; an era in which human beings with their extensive inventions, is seeking to resolve of the advanced difficulties facing life, humanneeds and devoting of it to machines that their productivity is higher and more accurate than humans. In spite of this, the man’s grandiloquence is to the extentthat seeks to devolve somespecial features ofhuman to machine such as thinking, perception,analysisand... .Need to translatation from different languagesin the shortest time possible is one of mankind's growing needsin the age of communication and speed. Therefore, the devoting of translation to the machine in the modern era is one of special efforts of some scientific fields such as artificial intelligenceand computational linguistics and… . The variable experiences of this idea have challenged its success even in similar languages. This article attempts to offer and analyze different types of challenges in machine translation from Arabic to Farsi with theanalytical approach and reference to the position and quantity of prevalence of this type of translation between the two mentioned languages and it shows that there are special challenges in the Arabic language about machine translation with absolute attitude to it and many other languages do not have those challenges; including of ambiguity in the text or vocabularies and the syntax issue. Thus, perhaps the machine translation of a language such as Arabic into Persian is one of the tougheststages in the evolution ofauniversaltranslationmachine.
