Abstract

Translation is the obvious requirement to abolish the communication barrier. The barrier may occur while knowing different languages and prevent from sharing the information. This paper provides a survey of Machine Translation (MT) systems developed for Indian languages. It also provides an idea regarding the approaches and evaluation techniques used for translation. From this paper, a researcher can have a glance regarding the work carried out for Indian languages and enhance the work from where it stops. Until now, a lot of work has been carried out for MT. Some systems are developed for general domain whereas others are for specific domain like administrative documents translation, news translation, children stories, weather narration and conference papers, etc., and still some languages require more attention.
