7.2.8 Limitation of UniArab<br />
Table 7.20: Test : Limitation of UniArab<br />
<strong>Arabic</strong> snsāfr ˙gdā ֓ilā ms. r<br />
human-translated We will travel <strong>to</strong> Egypt <strong>to</strong>morrow<br />
Google Tomorrow he travels <strong>to</strong> Egypt<br />
Microsoft snsāfr on <strong>to</strong> Egypt<br />
UniArab<br />
7.2. SENTENCE TESTS<br />
Table 7.20 shows another example of a pro–drop sentence. The output of the Google<br />
transla<strong>to</strong>r is faulty on the point of pro-drop; the system did not find the subject. We found<br />
that Microsoft’s MT did not recognize the important word in the sentence and passed it<br />
through <strong>to</strong> the output. UniArab fails <strong>to</strong> give a translation, because this structure does not<br />
exist in the system. Since RRG is built upon the logical structure, when an unknown<br />
structure is encountered, it cannot produce an output, even if some of the words are in<br />
the lexicon. Figure 7.21 shows this sentence output in the UniArab system.<br />
