One of the applications of Natural Language Processing is Machine Translation. Machine Translation means that by use of software to translate text or speech from one language to another language. Machine translation refers to the use of computers to automate the task of translating between human languages. Machine Translation with Statistical approach helps to do machine translation for any language pair by the use of Statistical tools. This paper describes machine translation with Statistical approach to produce better translation for English to Tamil translation system. We have collected parallel corpus from children story domain. We aligned the sentences manually. SRILM tool kit is used for language modeling. GIZA++ tool is used to build translation model. Moses decoder is used to produce better translation from English text to Tamil text.
