Abstract

In one embodiment, the invention provides a method for translating a document in an input language into an output language comprising: a) for each document fragment for which a translation is readily available, translating said document fragment based on said readily available translation; and b) for each remaining untranslated fragment for which a translation is not readily available, translating said untranslated fragment based on a model-based machine translation technique. A translation is readily available if a search reveals at least one matching translation for the document fragment in a translation database.
