Abstract (2. Language): 
The motivation behind working on a translation system from Telugu to English were based on the principles that a) There are many translation systems for translating from English to Indian languages but very few for vice versa. Telugu is a language that exhibits very strong phrasal, word and sentence structures next to Sanskrit, which makes the work organized on one hand but complex in handling on the other. This work demonstrates one such machine translation (MT) system for translating simple and moderately complex sentences from Telugu to English. b) Of the many MT approaches, the direct MT is used for translation between similar or nearly related languages. However, the direct MT has been used in this work for conversion from Telugu to English, which is quite complex compared to other Indian languages. The purpose of using direct MT for development of such a tool was to have the flexibility in usage, keeping it simple, look for rapid development and primarily to have better accuracy than all the known system. c) There are very large numbers of elisions/ inflection rules in Telugu requiring complex morphs, like those in Sanskrit. A large number of rules for handling inflections were to be developed along with the grammar rules. The outcomes were compared with Google Translator, a publicly available translation web based system. The outcomes were found to be much better, as much as 90 percent more accurate. This work shall bring forth deeper insights into Telugu MT research.
