Pittsburgh, the 31st October 2006....................................... i Automatic translation from one language to another is a highly ambituous task, and there is already a long history of people trying to solve this problem (Weaver, 1955). Yet there is no answer to this problem, but since Brown et al. (1993) Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) emerged as a promising candidate and is until now of primary research interest. Many work has been spent on components like the translation model and subtleties of this. Less work has been spent on language models, which are needed to derive well formed sentences in the target language. Hence the leading idea of this thesis is to integrate and evaluate language mod-
