ABSTRACT:
In general, the invention is directed to translation techniques for acronyms and ambiguities. In one embodiment, translation of a source text into a target language includes identifying a potential acronym in the source text and presenting a translated acronym to the user as a candidate for translation of the acronym. In another embodiment, a user's response with respect to a first instance of an ambiguity is used to translate a second instance of the ambiguity in a set of related documents without any further user response.
