[Moses-support] POS translation

Dear All,
I am looking for using moses to translate some sentence that contains POS. for example : I want a fly for the first of november I want to keep my POS by using the “-xml-input pass-through” option like :

input : I want a fly for the first of november
output : je veux un vol pour le premier novembre

but I didn’t find any clue about the probabilities that can be associated to my POS in the moses translation process.
Is there any one can give me some information about it ?

Thanks,

Christophe


Re:[Moses-support] POS translation

Hi,

if I understand this correctly, you want to preserve the XML tags verbatim and only translate the content. The easiest solution would be to strip out the XML, translate the text, and then using the phrase-alignment (and word alignment within phrases) to determine the positions where the tags should be inserted in the output.

This is the method that is used in our web page translation demo:
