This paper describes the DCU machine translation system in the evaluation campaign of the Joint Fifth Workshop on Statistical Machine Translation and Metrics in ACL-2010. We describe the modular design of our multi-engine machine translation (MT) system with particular focus on the components used in this participation.
We participated in the English–Spanish and English–Czech translation tasks, in which we employed our multiengine
architecture to translate. We also participated in the system combination task which was carried out by the MBR
decoder and confusion network decoder.
