Abstract
We present a transfer dictionary model that explains how words and bigrams can be translated from one language to another in a concise way. Translation of bigrams can be used to handle the syntactic differences between languages. The dictionary is being used in a English-Portuguese translation machine project, however, the transfer dictionary model is generic enough to be applied to other projects as well.
