1. A method for automatically translating text, comprising: (a) generating a conceptual representation space based on source-language documents and target-language documents, wherein respective terms from the source-language documents and the target-language documents have a representation in the conceptual representation space; (b) representing a new source-language document in the conceptual representation space, wherein a subset of terms in the new source-language document is represented in the conceptual representation space, such that each term in the subset has a representation in the conceptual representation space; and (c) automatically translating a term in the new source-language document into a corresponding target-language term based on a similarity between the representation of the term and the representation of the corresponding target-language term.
