Carabao Do-It-Yourself Machine Translation Kit is a fully customizable language creation toolkit. It allows creation of your own machine translation interlingua-modeled databases and using them on-the fly.

Highlights:

• N-gram design which allows translation between any two languages in the database, rather than crafting translation pairs one-by-one. This is especially important for minority languages, creating pairs for which is not economically viable
• Compatibility to the structure of paper dictionaries which allows mass import from regular human readable dictionaries
• Openness of lexical database, including rules and basic definitions. Everything can be customized
• Model and entities are grammar-independent and are suitable for any language without the need to reprogram or even recompile. Lexical data is stored in transactional database
• Small footprint
• Style sensitivity and control - ability to reshape the result so it will bear the same meaning but in different style. For example, the user may write a phrase using common words in French, and the program would translate it into official style in English.
• Inline conversion of measures.
• Built-in thesaurus for words and idioms found in the processed text.
• Ability to trace the translation process.
