MANTRA Rajbhasha is a MAchiNe assisted TRAnslation tool, which is based on the MANTRA Technology designed and developed by the Applied Artificial Intelligence Group (AAI), C-DAC, Pune and sponsored by the Department of Official Language, Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India . It translates documents pertaining to Personal Administration such as gazette notification, office order, circular, office memorandum and Finance domains from English to Hindi and is being expanded to cover the other prominent domains of agriculture, information technology and education.

MANTRA Rajbhahsa uses the Tree Adjoining Grammar (TAG) formalism to represent the English as well as the Hindi grammar. The strategy adopted here is -

NOT Word To Word…
      NOR Rule To Rule…
            BUT Lexical Tree to Lexical Tree.
