This paper presents the NICT's participation (team ID: NICT) in the 6th Workshop on Asian Translation (WAT-2019) shared translation task, specifically Myanmar (Burmese) -English task in both translation directions.We built neural machine translation (NMT) systems for these tasks.Our NMT systems were trained with language model pretraining.Back-translation technology is adopted to NMT.Our NMT systems rank the third in English-to-Myanmar and the second in Myanmar-to-English according to BLEU score.
