1. A method for rewriting source text, comprising:

  • receiving source text comprising at least one source text string in a first natural language;

    with a processor, for each of the at least one source text string;

    translating the source text string with a machine translation system to generate a first target text string in a second natural language;

    computing a first translation confidence for the source text string based on at least one feature that is based on at least one of the source text string and the first target text string;

    providing for generating at least one alternative text string in the first natural language, the generating comprising automatically rewriting the source text string; and

    for each of the at least one alternative text string;

    translating the alternative text string with the machine translation system to generate a second target text string in the second natural language; and

    computing a second translation confidence for the alternative text string based on at least one feature that is based on at least one of the alternative text string and the second target text string; and

    based on the computed first and second translation confidences, providing for selecting one of the at least one alternative text strings as a replacement for the source text string in the source text.
