ILMT System is being developed by a consortium of academic & research institutions working in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) technology. All these institutions are active in the field of technology development for NLP in general & Indian Language Machine Translation in particular, for many years. They have developed and accumulated almost all components/modules that can be adapted, modified, or enhanced (as the need may be) for ILMT System being developed

ILMT System being conceived will be a very large and complex system, and it will be inappropriate to design it afresh. The consortium has decided that the available versions of all modules would be taken as the ‘initial versions’, and then each module would be engineered stepwise, to make it a component of a maintainable ILMT software product.
