Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes receiving a document and a request to translate the document to a different language, the document including at least one tag associated with a first portion of text within the document, receiving a manual translation of the document translated by a human translator but not including the at least one tag, generating a plurality of alignments between the document and the manual translation using a statistical alignment model, selecting one of the plurality of alignments based on a likelihood that the first portion of text in the document corresponds to an aligned second portion of text within the manual translation, mapping a location of the tag in the document to a corresponding location within the manual translation based on the selected alignment, and inserting the at least one tag into the manual translation at the corresponding location to obtain a modified manual translation of the document.
