METHOD FOR TRANSLATING DOCUMENTS FROM ONE LANGUAGE INTO ANOTHER USING A DATABASE OF TRANSLATIONS, A TERMINOLOGY DICTIONARY, A TRANSLATION DICTIONARY, AND A MACHINE TRANSLATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method for translating a document in an input language into an output language comprising:
- a) for each document fragment for which a translation is readily available, translating said document fragment based on said readily available translation; and
b) for each remaining untranslated fragment for which a translation is not readily available, translating said untranslated fragment based on a model-based machine translation technique.

Abstract
In one embodiment, the invention provides a method for translating a document in an input language into an output language comprising: a) for each document fragment for which a translation is readily available, translating said document fragment based on said readily available translation; and b) for each remaining untranslated fragment for which a translation is not readily available, translating said untranslated fragment based on a model-based machine translation technique. A translation is readily available if a search reveals at least one matching translation for the document fragment in a translation database.

23. A system, comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory comprising a translation application which when executed causes the system to perform a method for translating a document in an input language into an output language comprising; a) for each document fragment for which a translation is readily available, translating said document fragment based on said readily available translation; and b) for each remaining untranslated fragment for which a translation is not readily available, translating said untranslated fragment based on a model-based machine translation technique. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 29, 31)

36. A computer storage medium having stored thereon a program which when executed performs a method for translating a document in an input language into an output language, comprising:
-
a) for each document fragment for which a translation is readily available, translating said document fragment based on said readily available translation; and b) for each remaining untranslated fragment for which a translation is not readily available, translating said untranslated fragment based on a model-based machine translation technique. - View Dependent Claims (37, 38)
