If a particular translation is unexpected, it may thus be that we may have missed. In such cases we try to find the correct meaning from from context, but we do not always succeed. All languages have words with more than one meaning. You should in other words be cautious when interpreting compounds. Usually this gives the intended result, but Norwegian may also use a completely different word. When the program translates unknown compound words it translates the parts separately and put them together. Sami does not distinguish between definite and indefinite form, if a choice of definiteness would have given another meaning, you may not be sure that the translation is correct.
If the text says "he" it is then still possible that the text refers to a woman. Please keep in mind the following possible types of errors: Saami does not distinguish between "he" and "she".
If the Norwegian translation contains something you simply do not expect, you should look critically at result. In its present phase it may be used to understand North Saami better, but it is not able to produce flawless Norwegian. Contact us About the translator The North Saami-Norwegian translation system is under constant development. Giellatekno cooperates on machine translation with Apertium, a free/open-source machine translation platform. Residents can also participate in cultural activities organized by the Foundation.Giellatekno at UiT The Arctic University of Norway is working with machine translation based on our grammatical analysers for Saami languages, combined with bilingual dictionaries, grammatical transfer rules and a generation component. The Foundation covers residents’ travel costs to and from home and grants a monthly stipend of CHF 1200. Residencies can be granted for individual projects or projects in pairs. Helps to better understand socio-environmental interconnections and the impact of human actions on nature.
