6. SUMMARY
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> In this paper, we have given an overview of the statistical approach to machine translation and especially its implementation in the Verbmobil prototype system. The statistical system has been trained on about 500000 running words from a bilingual German-English corpus. Translations are performed for both directions, i.e. from German to English and from English to German. Comparative evaluations with other translation approaches of the Verbmobil prototype system show that the statistical translation is superior, especially in the presence of speech input and ungrammatical input.</Paragraph>
