Claims:WE CLAIM:
1. A method of interchanging code-mixed words and uni-language words, the method comprising:
identifying, by a translation device, two or more portions of a target word, wherein the target word is one of a code-mixed word and a uni-language word;
determining, by the translation device, one or more equivalent words corresponding to at least one portion of the two or more portions, wherein the one or more equivalent words are in at least one predetermined target language;
selecting, by the translation device, at least one equivalent word from the one or more equivalent words, based on a context of the target word within a sentence comprising the target word; and
replacing, by the translation device, the at least one portion of the two or more portions of the target word with the selected at least one equivalent word.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein at least one remaining portion of the two or more portions is an ending phoneme corresponding to a verb.

3. The method of claim 1 further comprising identifying a derivative word for a portion of the at least one portion to be replaced, wherein the derivative word is in a native language associated with the portion.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein selecting the at least one equivalent word comprises identifying the at least one equivalent word associated with the derivative word.

5. The method of claim 4 further comprising:
computing a first probability score for each of the at least one equivalent word, based on an associated usage probability, wherein the associated usage probability of an equivalent word of the at least one equivalent word is derived based on linguistic rules of the at least one predetermined target language; and
computing a second probability score for each of the at least one equivalent word, based on an associated transition probability, wherein the associated transition probability of the equivalent word of the at least one equivalent word is derived based on a placement of the equivalent word within the sentence comprising the target word.

6. The method of claim 5 further comprising:
determining a combined probability score for each of the at least one equivalent word based on the associated first probability score and the second probability score; and
selecting an equivalent word from the at least one equivalent word based on the combined probability score determined for each of the at least one equivalent word.

7. A translation device for interchanging code-mixed words and uni-language words, the translation device comprising:
a processor; and
a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein the memory stores processor instructions, which, on execution, causes the processor to:
identify two or more portions of a target word, wherein the target word is one of a code-mixed word and a uni-language word;
determine one or more equivalent words corresponding to at least one portion of the two or more portions, wherein the one or more equivalent words are in at least one predetermined target language;
select at least one equivalent word from the one or more equivalent words, based on a context of the target word within a sentence comprising the target word; and
replace the at least one portion of the two or more portions of the target word with the selected at least one equivalent word.

8. The translation device of claim 7, wherein at least one remaining portion of the two or more portions is an ending phoneme corresponding to a verb, and wherein the at least one predetermined target language is determined based on the at least one portion that is an ending phoneme.

9. The translation device of claim 7, wherein the processor instructions further cause the processor to identify a derivative word for a portion of the at least one portion to be replaced, wherein the derivative word is in a native language associated with the portion.

10. The translation device of claim 9, wherein selecting the at least one equivalent word comprises identifying the at least one equivalent word associated with the derivative word.

11. The translation device of claim 10, wherein the processor instructions further cause the processor to:
compute a first probability score for each of the at least one equivalent word, based on an associated usage probability, wherein the associated usage probability of an equivalent word of the at least one equivalent word is derived based on linguistic rules of the at least one predetermined target language; and
compute a second probability score for each of the at least one equivalent word, based on an associated transition probability, wherein the associated transition probability of the equivalent word of the at least one equivalent word is derived based on a placement of the equivalent word within the sentence comprising the target word.

12. The translation device of claim 11, wherein the processor instructions further cause the processor to:
determine a combined probability score for each of the at least one equivalent word based on the associated first probability score and the second probability score; and
select an equivalent word from the at least one equivalent word based on the combined probability score determined for each of the at least one equivalent word.
