Abstract
This paper discusses about the Interlingua approach of machine translation, especially the
Nepali generator part of Interlingua based machine translation in which the Interlingua
used is UNL (Universal Networking Language). Nepali is the national language of Nepal, a
country in Indian sub continental region. UNL is an Interlingua proposed by United Nations
University/Institute Of Advanced Studies, Tokyo, Japan to remove language barrier and
digital divide in the World Wide Web. This paper describes about the architecture and
design of UNL Nepali Deconverter (Generator), that has been implemented using a tool
called DeCo, a language neutral generator. Nepali sentences are generated using
information present in Nepali language at different linguistic levels. Information like case
relations, case markers etc. in Nepali sentences can be generated from morphological
level itself since Nepali is a morphologically rich language.
