translation code

actually i need to program a translation system for malay-english texts using c++.

i am still new with c++...do u have any suggestion about any suitable book for me to focus only on translation words.

i have try to translate syntax to syntax but i do not know how i can modify the code so that it can translate all string enter by user?


plz help me.....

i think it is not that easy...
it is called machine translation and it has been topic of research for many scientists...
try googling: "machine translation algorithm"
yo might need to read some scientific paper on this topic...

thank 4 your feedback....
act this is my coding to translate a syntax but i don't know how to translate multiple words ....for example if I translate a syntax "saya" it will produce an english syntax "I"..but how if I want to translate " saya suka" mean " I like".....

anybody know????

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdio>
using namespace std;

int main() {

int i;
char str[80];
char numbers[10][80]= {
"saya", "i",
"suka", "like",
"makan", "eat",
"nasi", "rice",
"ayam", "chicken" };

cout<<"Enter Malay word to translate: \n";
cout<<"============================== \n\n";
cout<<"\t";
cin>>str;
cout<<"\n\n";

for (i=0; i<10; i+=2)
    if(!strcmp(str, numbers[i])) 
	{
	cout<< "English word is : \n"<<"================================\n\n\n"<<"\t"<<numbers[i+1]<<"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n";
	break;
	}

if(i==10) cout<< "Not found\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n";

return 0;

}

i see...
you want to do the translation by letters...

first you need to parse the input first...
let say the user input "saya suka"

parse the input based on the white space...
put into buffer and then compare it to your dictionary...
