IuvoLatin Updates

Iuvo comes from the Latin word meaning "I Help". Iuvo Latin is a collection of C++ code to help with the translation of English to Latin and vice versa. Currently only the backend framework is being developed, but it will serve as the basis for a full Latin Translation application. 

​

During my time teaching Latin, I would on occasion catch some students attempting to use AI or other similar services to help in the completion of their work. Due to both the students and these services lack of knowledge of the way Latin grammar works, it was very clear that the work was not their own. In my research for any applications that could consistently handle translations between English and Latin, I found none that could both follow the rules of the language and provide meaningful translations. This project is my attempt to fill this gap in services. 

​

While much of the real-time processing of the sentences and words will be done on the C++ side, I will be utilizing SQL for the storage of the dictionary. The goal is to allow users to perform searches of the database from the API/ application. This provides a central location for all words (nouns, verbs, etc.) along with their various forms for quick and efficient lookup.
