Introduction<br />

The following paragraph was translated from <strong>Arabic</strong> in<strong>to</strong> <strong>English</strong> using the Google trans-<br />

la<strong>to</strong>r (Google 2009).<br />

That rely entirely on <strong>machine</strong> translation ignores the fact that communication in<br />

the language of rights is an integral part of the context, and that the human is<br />

capable of understanding the context of the original text in a manner sufficient.<br />

There<strong>for</strong>e can not be trusted after the <strong>machine</strong> translation programs, they could<br />

not analyze the context of the original version is similar <strong>to</strong> the human<br />

understanding of when listening <strong>to</strong> the same text.<br />

It is clear that the paragraph cannot be easily unders<strong>to</strong>od, and a large amount of the<br />

in<strong>for</strong>mation has been confused or mixed up. This shows the problems facing <strong>machine</strong><br />

translation, and motivates our work. We believe that statistical <strong>machine</strong> translation has<br />

not achieved what people expected in terms of quality. Hence we wish <strong>to</strong> look at another<br />

method, building from the ground up <strong>to</strong> achieve higher quality translations.<br />
