Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for translating text using a bridge language. One of the methods includes receiving original text in a source language and data identifying a target language; obtaining bridge language translations for the original text into a bridge language, wherein the bridge language translations comprise one or more dictionary translations; for each bridge language translation, obtaining one or more candidate translations for the bridge language translation into the target language, wherein the candidate translations comprise one or more dictionary translations; determining that a candidate translation is a dictionary translation obtained for a particular bridge language translation and that the particular bridge language translation is a dictionary translation obtained for the original text; determining that the candidate translation is obtained for two or more distinct bridge language translations; and selecting the candidate translation as a preferred translation of the original text.
