1. A system for automatic translation, comprising: at least one database for storing source and target text and rule based and statistical language models; a rule based machine translation module that translates source text based on the rule based models; a statistical machine translation module based on maximum entropy modeling that translates the source text based on statistical language models; a hybrid machine translation engine, having a maximum entropy algorithm that is coupled to the rule based machine translation module and the statistical machine translation module that is capable of translating source text into target text based on the rule based and statistical language models.
