Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for re-translation for simultaneous, spoken-language machine translation. In some implementations, a stream of audio data comprising speech in a first language is received. A transcription for the speech in the stream of audio data is generated using an automated speech recognizer through a series of updates. A translation of the transcription into a second language is generated using a machine translation module. The translation is generated with translation iterations that translate increasing amounts of the transcription, including re-translating previously portions of the transcription. A series of translation updates are provided to a client device based on the translation iterations.
