Abstract

We describe experiments with syntax-based pre-reordering of Estonian for statistical translation into English. The reordering rules are designed manually to address the most prominent differences in typical constituent order between Estonian and English and are based on syntactic information obtained via parsing Estonian input sentences. In the experiments we obtained mixed results and present a discussion of the possible reasons.
