English to Arabic machine translation of mathematical documents
Mustapha Eddahibi Mohammed Mensouri
This paper is about the development of a machine translation system tailored
specifically for LATEX mathematical documents. The system focuses on
translating English LATEX mathematical documents into Arabic LATEX, catering to
the growing demand for multilingual accessibility in scientific and
mathematical literature. With the vast proliferation of LATEX mathematical
documents the need for an efficient and accurate translation system has become
increasingly essential. This paper addresses the necessity for a robust
translation tool that enables seamless communication and comprehension of
complex mathematical content across language barriers. The proposed system
leverages a Transformer model as the core of the translation system, ensuring
enhanced accuracy and fluency in the translated Arabic LATEX documents.
Furthermore, the integration of RyDArab, an Arabic mathematical TEX extension,
along with a rule-based translator for Arabic mathematical expressions,
contributes to the precise rendering of complex mathematical symbols and
equations in the translated output. The paper discusses the architecture,
methodology, of the developed system, highlighting its efficacy in bridging the
language gap in the domain of mathematical documentation
