Abstract: The Bicolano-Tagalog Transfer-based Machine Translation System is a unidirectional machine translator for languages Bicolano and Tagalog. The transfer-based approach is divided into three phase: Pre-Processing Analysis, Morphological Transfer, and Sentence Generation. The system analyze first the source language (Bicolano) input to create some internal representation. This includes the tokenizer, stemmer, POS tag and parser. Through transfer rules, it then typically manipulates this internal representation to transfer parsed source language syntactic structure into target language syntactic structure. Finally, the system generates Tagalog sentence from own morphological and syntactic information. Each phase will undergo training and evaluation test for the competence of end-results. Overall performance shows a 71.71% accuracy rate.
