ABSTRACT:
Translating named entities from a source language to a target language. In general, in one implementation, the technique includes: generating potential translations of a named entity from a source language to a target language using a pronunciation-based and spelling-based transliteration model, searching a monolingual resource in the target language for information relating to usage frequency, and providing output including at least one of the potential translations based on the usage frequency information.
