Abstract
In this paper we investigate the rapid deployment of a twoway Afrikaans to English Speech-to-Speech Translation system. We discuss the approaches and amount of work involved to port a system to a new language pair, i.e. the steps required to rapidly adapt ASR, MT and TTS component to Afrikaans under limited time and data constraints. The resulting system represents the first prototype built for Afrikaans to English speech translation. 1.
