This is a hybrid solution for acquiring the best translation out of multiple online MT engines

• PHP with curl

• KenLM compatible language model (preferrably binarized)

• Access to at least two APIs

  • Google Translate - https://cloud.google.com/translate/
  • Bing Translator - http://www.bing.com/dev/en-us/translator
  • LetsMT - https://www.letsmt.eu
  • Yandex Translator - https://tech.yandex.com/translate/
  • iTranslate - http://itranslate4.eu/en/api/settings

• Tokenized input sentances

• Google Translate
• Bing Translator
• LetsMT
• Yandex Translator
• iTranslate

php MSHT.php languageModel.binary inputSentances.txt

The output generates six files:

• output.google.txt
• output.bing.txt
• output.letsmt.txt
• output.yandex.txt
• output.itranslate.txt
• output.hybrid.txt
