Abstract
Telugu is a classical language, a descent of Brahmi script and possesses a very rich grammar, major part of the grammar is adapted from Sanskrit. These features make the translation of English to Telugu and vice versa very difficult. There are very large numbers of elisions requiring complex morphs, only the next to Sanskrit. We developed a large number of rules to bring out better machine translation of Telugu text into equivalent English or Sanskrit. The translation results were compared with publicly available systems and were found to be better than them.
