Text-Translation Alignment: Three Languages Are Better Than Two.
Michel G. Simard · 1999
In this article, we show how a bilingual text-translation alignment method can be adapted to deal with more than two versions of a text. Experiments on a trilingual corpus demonstrate that this method yields better bilingual alignments than can be obtained with bilingual text-alignment methods. Moreover, for a given number of texts, the computational complexity of the multilingual method is the same as for bilingual alignment.
