Abstract :
Today, several tools exist for automatic processing of standard Arabic. In comparison, resources and tools for Arabic dialects especially Moroccan dialect are still lacking. Given the proximity of the Moroccan dialect with standard Arabic, a way is to provide a translation of the first to the second by combining a rule-based approach and a statistical approach, using tools designed for Arabic standard and adapting these tools to Moroccan dialect. We describe in this paper an architecture for such a translation.
