ABSTRACT:
A system for translating a first word set in a source language into a second word set in a target language, the system comprising: input means for inputting the first word set into the system; tagging means for tagging the first word set input to the system so as to at least substantially reduce non-essential variability in the first word set; translation means including a single a posteriori conditional probability model and a target candidate store for storing target language candidate word sets, wherein the translation means employs the single model to evaluate the target language candidate word sets in order to select the target language candidate word set having a best score with respect to the first word set; and output means for outputting the best scoring target language candidate word set as the second word set in the target language.
