In this paper we present light weighted English-to-Korean and Korean-to-English mobile translators on smart phones. For natural translation and higher translation quality, translation engines are hybridized with Translation Memory (TM) and Rule-based translation engine. In order to maximize the usability of the system, we combined an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) engine and Text-to-Speech (TTS) engine as a Front-End and Back-end of the mobile translators. With the BLEU and NIST evaluation metrics, the experimental results show our E-K and K-E mobile translation equality reach 72.4% and 77.7% of Google translators, respectively. This shows the quality of our mobile translators almost reaches the that of server-based machine translation to show its commercial usefulness.

In this paper we present a light weighted robust Korean morphological analyzer for mobile devices such as mobile phones, smart phones, and PDA phones. Such mobile devices are not suitable for natural language interfaces for their low CPU performance and memory restriction. In order to overcome the difficulties we propose 1) an online analysis by using Key Event Handler mechanism, 2) and a robust analysis of the Korean sentences with spacing errors without its correction pre-processing. We adapt the proposed Korean analyzer to a Korean-English mobile translator, which shows 5.8% memory usage reduction and 19.0% enhancement of average response time.

본 논문에서는 스마트폰과 같은 모바일 단말기 자체에서 동작하는 경량화된 영한 하이브리드 모바일 번역 엔진을 설계 및 구현하였다. 번역 엔진은 자연스러운 번역과 높은 번역 품질을 위해 번역 메모리(Translation Memory)와 규칙기반의 번역 엔진으로 이중화를 하였다. PC에 비해 하드웨어 제약이 심한 스마트폰 자체에서 구동이 원활하도록 주메모리의 사용을 줄이고 분석 시간 단축을 위하여 핵심 번역 엔진을 포함한 번역 지식 DB가 외장메모리에서 구동되도록 하였다. 실험결과 번역 품질은 BLEU와 NIST 평가치를 기준으로 서버 기반의 구글번역기 대비 70.0%로 사용자의 의미전달이 가능한 실용적인 수준으로 평가되었다.
