Abstract

OOV terminology and structured English phrases, which are exclusive to the aerospace industry, are crucial to this field. Translating these words and phrases is a difficult task. The use of social media, such as Facebook, Twitter, etc., by airlines as a significant tool for communication and advertising has led to the inclusion of these aerospace-related terms in everyday reading materials like newspapers. To make it easier for MT(Machine Translation) systems to translate these structured phrases and OOV terms, such as TFC, LEO, a tool that can recognize them and substitute them with the appropriate meaningful English word is urgently needed. For accurate translation, the MT(Machine Translation) systems must then be trained utilizing aerospace parallel corpora (English-target language). Another gap that must be remedied is the lack of such a corpus. There is a great demand for a tool that can handle both the direct feed to MT tools and assist in building a parallel corpus.

Keywords
