Claim One:
1. A translation method adapted to a domain of interest comprising: receiving a source text string comprising a sequence of source words in a source language; generating a set of candidate translations of the source text string, each candidate translation comprising a sequence of target words in a target language; and with a processor, identifying an optimal translation from the set of candidate translations as a function of at least one domain-adapted feature, the at least one domain-adapted feature being computed based on: bilingual probabilities, each bilingual probability being for a source text fragment and a target text fragment of the source text string and candidate translation respectively, the bilingual probabilities being estimated on an out-of-domain parallel corpus comprising source and target strings; and monolingual probabilities for text fragments of one of the source text string and candidate translation, the monolingual probabilities being estimated on an in-domain monolingual corpus.
