Punjabi language is mostly used in the Northern India and in some areas of Pakistan as well as in UK, Canada and USA. Hindi is the national language of India and is spoken and used by the people all over the country.

The system includes lexicon based translation, transliteration and continuously improving the system through machine learning module. It also takes care of basic word sense disambiguation.
