I am developing windows application in .net 2.0.
It is standalone application run on PC with no internet connection.
The requirement is user enter name of retailer in textbox on form or it is imported from files and we want that name to be displayed in regional language(eg marathi,hindi etc)while generating reports.

Your help is highly appreciable.

What "English to Marathi"? Translation from one language to another? If so, do you ask us how to write translation engine, where to get the dictionaries, etc., or where to get existing engine?

Yes you may called it as translation engine.
Our application is in sales and distribution where number of customers who purchase goods are many.and i want to convert name of that customers into regional language.
and i want that to display while creating crystal reports.
How can i achieve it

"I cant use resource file as the customers are in thousands."... How number of customers is related to resource file?.. :-)

Are you talking about English to Marathi transliteration[^]? Something like this:

Pramila = प्रमिला

Pramilak 8-Jun-12 6:23am

yes.. but i want it in my application.

Since the problem is Localization, instead of asking the whole world I suggest you to look for solutions found by your own nationals.
AFAIK, Marati is close to Hindi and many other languages in the subcontinent, so I suggest you posting this on General Indian Topics forum.
And see my answer as well.

Thanks krumia for your quik reply.
Its not an problem related to country... I am asking to .Net developer to suggest me on problem i facing... English to any other regional language in windows application.

krumia 8-Jun-12 7:48am

Please do not misunderstand me. I did not meant to say mind your own business. I asked you to post in GIT because I believed there would be many people in GIT who are likely to have encountered this problem before. And though it is not country specific, the problem (transliteration) is essentially specific to the a language family.

Pramilak 8-Jun-12 8:20am

No no their is not such thing.. you are not at all wrong.. just i think its a general question regarding technology so posted here.
I will check GIT forums too.
thanks for your time.
Have a nice day and weekend.

Hi Pramila. According to you, the application has multi lingual users and the PC will not have internet connection... Isnt this requirement somewhat contradictory ? Instead of wasting thousands of rupees and thousands of hours on creating a translation engine from english to local languages , buy a internet connection and use the translators powered by google or microsoft.

Your problem seems to be English to Marati transliteration by the look of comments.

The simple thing to do is to translate English syllables directly to Marati letters.

e.g. Pramila = प्रमिला

But there are always exceptions. User might have meant प्रामीला instead of the prior example. So you should have a probabilistic model from which you can guess the transliteration.

For example say two transliterations are possible for a given English utterance. And one transliteration is a person name and other is a verb. So if we're sure that transliteration must be a person name, we can definitely choose the second one without doubt.

Hello...
your explanation is good but it not given any clue to me to work on..
The simple thing to do is to translate English syllables directly to Marati letters.. what it means...

krumia 8-Jun-12 7:44am

Sorry I'm no expert of this field. I can only give you suggestions.
This is what I meant:
Pra=प्र, mi=मि, la=ला
In separating English word to syllables (i.e. Pramila=Pra,mi,la) you will have to consider the restrictions of your language. For example, in mother tongue (Sinhala), we rarely have vowels in the middle of a word. There must be similar restrictions in your language.

Pramilak 8-Jun-12 8:17am

Ok.. i got it..
you give some other way to think.i will work on it.
thanks for your time and quick reply.
