ABSTRACT:
A machine translator trained with textual inputs generated by other machine translators is disclosed. A textual input in a first language is provided by a user or other source. This textual input is then translated by a first machine translator to generate a translated version of the textual input in a second language. The textual input and the translated version are parsed and passed through a training architecture to develop a transfer mapping, and a bilingual dictionary. These components are then used by a second machine translator when translating other textual inputs.
