7.2.1 Verb-Subject with one argument in different tenses<br />

Table 7.1: Test : Verb-Subject; one argument<br />

<strong>Arabic</strong> yˇsrb ֒mr āllbn<br />

Human Omar is drinking the milk.<br />

Google Omar drink milk<br />

Microsoft drink milk Omar<br />

UniArab Omar is drinking the milk .<br />

7.2. SENTENCE TESTS<br />

In Table 7.1, the output of the Google transla<strong>to</strong>r (Google 2009) is faulty in tense and verb<br />

‘<strong>to</strong> be’. Microsoft’s MT (Microsoft 2009) failed <strong>to</strong> translate most of the sentence in tense,<br />

verb and word order. UniArab successfully translates the sentence in its entirety. Figure<br />

7.1 shows this sentence output in the UniArab system.<br />
