| Abstract | Language barriers continue to limit communication, education, and access to information across global digital platforms. Conventional rule-based and statistical machine translation systems frequently fail to capture sentence-level context, grammar, and semantic meaning, producing inaccurate or unnatural translations, particularly for idiomatic expressions and morphologically complex languages. This paper presents an automated multilingual translation system built around a Transformer-based Neural Machine Translation (NMT) model that leverages multi-head self-attention to translate text between English, Hindi, French, Spanish, and German with contextual awareness. The system integrates automatic source-language detection, a text preprocessing pipeline (cleaning, normalization, subword tokenization), attention-based translation explainability, and a web-based interface supporting real-time translation, translation-history storage, and downloadable reports. The Transformer model is fine-tuned on multilingual parallel corpora drawn from the OPUS and WMT repositories using an 80:10:10 train/validation/test split. Evaluation on a held-out multilingual test set using BLEU, ROUGE-L, and translation-accuracy metrics shows a macro-average translation accuracy of 92.7%, exceeding a 90% target, with a mean inference time of 178.5 ms per request. Comparative evaluation against LSTM-based, GRU-based, statistical, and rule-based baselines shows the proposed Transformer model outperforming all four alternatives on both accuracy and BLEU score. These results indicate that combining attention-based Transformer translation with practical deployment features — language detection, explainability, history management, and reporting — can deliver an accurate, scalable, and user-accessible multilingual translation platform. |
