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.
