In this paper we demonstrate that &quot;MT in a day&quot; is possible with a non-statistical MT system provided that the transfer component is learned from aligned bilingual corpora (bi-texts), and does not rely on any large hand-crafted bilingual resource. We propose instead to use a bilingual dictionary learned only from the same bi-texts. Section 4.2 describes the creation of the new language pair, French-Spanish, and gives evaluation results.</Paragraph> <Paragraph position="1"> Section 4.1 examines the impact of the learned dictionary on our existing French-English system.</Paragraph> </Section> class="xml-element"></Paper>
