1. A method for translating a received source text into a target text through mapping source words on target words, wherein said method comprising the steps of:

  • ascertaining alignment probabilities between source word and target word pairs;

    assuming that alignment between such word pairs is monotonous through at least substantial substrings of a particular sentence;

    evaluating, using a Hidden Markov Model and accelerated dynamic programming recombination, statistical translation performance of various target word strings; and

    deciding on an optimum target word string.
