Abstract
A method includes detecting a syntactic chunk in a source string in a first language, assigning a syntactic label to the detected syntactic chunk in the source string, mapping the detected syntactic chunk in the source string to a syntactic chunk in a target string in a second language, said mapping based on the assigned syntactic label, and translating the source string into a possible translation in the second language.
Claims22
A method comprising:
- detecting a syntactic chunk in a source string in a first language;
- assigning a syntactic label to the detected syntactic chunk in the source string;
- mapping the detected syntactic chunk in the source string to a syntactic chunk in a target string in a second language, said mapping based on the assigned syntactic label:
- and
- translating the source string into a possible translation in the second language.

An article comprising a machine readable medium including machine-executable instructions, the instructions operative to cause a machine to:
- detect a syntactic chunk in a source string in a first language;
- assign a syntactic label to the detected syntactic chunk in the source string;
- align the detected syntactic chunk in the source string to a syntactic chunk in a second language string, said mapping based on the assigned syntactic label;
- and
- translate each word from the source string into a second word corresponding to a possible translation in the second language.
