Table 7.19: Test : Ditransitive with preposition<br />

<strong>Arabic</strong> <br />

֒mr ֓a֒t.ā lh ˘ āld ktāb<br />

human-translated Omar gave a book <strong>to</strong> Khalid.<br />

Google Omar Khaled gave a book<br />

Microsoft Omar gave Khalid book<br />

UniArab Omar gave a book <strong>to</strong> Khalid.<br />

7.2. SENTENCE TESTS<br />

Table 7.19 shows an example of ditransitive. The output of the Google transla<strong>to</strong>r is<br />

faulty in determining the ac<strong>to</strong>r, the system can not analyse who does what. Microsoft’s<br />

transla<strong>to</strong>r is faulty loosing the definite article and sentence meaning. UniArab success-<br />

fully translates the sentence in its entirety. Figure 7.20 shows this sentence output in the<br />

UniArab system.<br />
