7.2. SENTENCE TESTS<br />

Table 7.11: Test : Free word order (Verb Noun Noun scenario two)<br />

<strong>Arabic</strong> yh. b lylā qys<br />

human-translated Qays loves Laila<br />

Google Leila loves measured<br />

Microsoft Love laili Qais<br />

UniArab Qays loves Laila<br />

In Table 7.11, the second ordering possibility is shown. The output of the Google transla-<br />

<strong>to</strong>r is faulty in the ac<strong>to</strong>r, the system can not analyse ‘who does what’, the ac<strong>to</strong>r is Qais but<br />

the output makes the object the subject. Microsoft’s transla<strong>to</strong>r translates each word while<br />

ignores the word order and the meaning of the sentence. It also makes the object the<br />

subject. UniArab successfully translates the sentence in its entirety. Figure 7.12 shows<br />

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