English to Sindhi and Sindhi to English Children’s Pictorial Dictionary is the first ever attempt of developing such an application in Sindhi Language and only application which provides a great help to school children and in rural areas because it contains not only Sindhi meanings but also contains pictures. However to best of our knowledge no other work has been done in the area of Sindhi Digital Dictionary development especially with pictorial architecture. to develop Unicode based Sindhi Dictionaries. Nevertheless, there have been selected efforts for the computerization of standard Sindhi dictionary, based on third-party plugins and system dependent features discussed in, whereas a generic framework was proposed by Ismaili et al. the Sindhi Corpus was constructed by Rahman M.U., and techniques for developing Sindhi text to speech system was discussed by. The Sindhi Word Segmentation problem was addressed using Lexicon-driven approach and Sindhi Text was segmented into word tokens in by Mahar et al. in Speech Tagging for Sindhi Language with rule based technique and using Word Net address key problems in Sindhi computational processing in NLP areas. However Sindhi Language is influencing and making its way into digital age by means of research conducted in Sindhi NLP and linguistics area from developing Sindhi Typing Tutor, Sindhi Academic portal to developing GUI’s in Sindhi.
Unfortunately very little work has been done with respect to Sindhi language for developing a digital Sindhi Dictionaries and this small amount of work can be only seen in. Sindhi is also spoken widely in various regions of India by approximately 2.8 million people. Sindhi is the official language of Sindh province in Pakistan and currently there are more than 34.4 million Sindhi speaking people in Pakistan and is regarded as one of the oldest spoken languages of the world. The reason is that these dictionaries hold only those words which are represented and elaborated with their pictures. Pictorial dictionaries include a small corpus of words, minimizing the dictionaries size and complexity. Generally pictorial dictionaries are organized by the topic instead of being an alphabetic list of words. A pictorial or illustration based dictionary uses pictures or drawings to illustrate and visually elaborate what the desired word means. With advent of technology the use of dictionaries has seen a paradigm shift from hard copy based book, to digital applications available on computers, online or in cell phones.
In brief, Dictionary is just like a reference book which provided the meaning and additional information such as pronunciations, origin etc. There are various simple definitions of the term dictionary given by the various authors according to their writing experience and their intellectual approach. The words included are specifically targeted towards the children of Sindh and contain approximately thirty Three thousand words. The second section is the end user section that is used by the students to search and view the Sindhi-English word with picture. First is the administrator section that is used to enter and save words and meanings along with their corresponding picture. Initially a two set of user interfaces are created.
The system uses java beans to create and store the dictionary word information as objects and serialized to save it in a file using java’s object serialization technique. The system is developed using Java programming language with database managed through Hash-table. This application thus is the first ever attempt to cultivate English to Sindhi and Sindhi to English Pictorial dictionary for Sindhi speaking Children.
#SINDHI TO ENGLISH TRANSLATION SOFTWARE#
There doesn’t exists any such type of software system which is specifically for the young school going children of Sindh Province, that would facilitate and aid them in learning English language. In this paper we discuss the implementation of Unicode based bilingual dictionary in Sindhi to English and English to Sindhi targeted specifically for children. Dictionaries are the fundamental building block of any language facilitating the language learners, scholars, teachers, students and native speakers with vital understanding of linguistics resources.
