7.2. SENTENCE TESTS<br />

Table 7.12: Test : Free word order (Verb Noun Noun scenario three)<br />

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

human-translated Qays loves Laila<br />

Google Qais likes of Laila<br />

Microsoft Qais love laili<br />

UniArab Qays loves Laila<br />

Table 7.12 shows the third possible sentence order. The output of the Google transla<strong>to</strong>r<br />

is faulty in verb meaning and adds an extra ‘of’ which does not carry any meaning.<br />

Microsoft’s MT translates each word while ignoring the word order, tense and meaning<br />

of the sentence. UniArab successfully translates the sentence in its entirety. Figure 7.13<br />

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