An Algorithm For Multilingual Text Compression

Abstract

Multilingual means use of multiple languages. A multilingual text contains text from multiple languages. Multilingual text is essential if we have to show some text to users of multiple languages. Multilingual text use Unicode base character set. Unicode provide unique bit pattern for every character of all languages. In Unicode the bit length of each character is 16 bit. So the text size of a multilingual text increases very much. As a result when a user wants to send a multilingual text through some paid channel he has to pay more than usual. So compression of multilingual text is essential. This paper proposes an efficient algorithm for multilingual text compression, so that any multilingual text can be transferred through any paid channel reducing the communication cost.
