Machine - Foreign Language Translation System

Abstract

The Machine Foreign Language Translation System (MFLTS), formerly named Sequoyah, develops, fields, and sustains a basic automated foreign speech and text translation capability for Army tactical systems to augment and compliment limited human linguistic resources. These integrated automated translation capabilities will be applicable across three different system configurations; a hand-held/wearable portable device, a laptop/mobile device, and in a networked/web-enabled system. The software modules will translate English from a prioritized list of languages in a prioritized collection of domains (e.g. medical, intelligence, base security). MFLTS will be interoperable with Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) or Government Off-The-Shelf (GOTS) automation equipment to include the Distributed Common Ground System-Army (DCGS-A), Nett Warrior (NW), and Counterintelligence Human Intelligence Automated Reporting and Collection System (CHARCS). FY16 Base RDTE dollars in the amount of $1.067 million provides engineering support for the continued development of Speech to Speech (S2S) languages in Iraqi Arabic and Pashto and Text to Text (T2T) language in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA).
