Abstract
One of the crucial challenges of statistical machine
translation is the lexical consistency of manually translated
words and multiword expressions (MWEs) with multiple
occurrences in the source language. In this paper, we present
the degree of translation inconsistency and we introduce the
index of translation completeness of fixed MWEs. The
research was based on the recently developed system that
intends to extract the entire candidate MWEs from Orwell’s
1984 parallel corpora and to predict their translations
between English, Macedonian, and Slovene.
