Machine translation for alignment of parallel texts

In the article we propose a procedure for aligning parallel texts using an on-line translator of the source text sentences. The result of the MT is compared with the translation made by a professional translator and these two translations are aligned using dynamic programming procedure. The method was tested on parallel corpora of Chekhov's stories translated into English, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Farsi and Armenian. The future work involves the fragmentation of sentences into phrases and words.
