Abstract
In CLEF 2004, the SINAI group participated in the multilingual task. Our main interest was to test Machine Translation (MT) with a mixed 2-step RSV merging algorithm. Since 2-step RSV requires grouping the document frequency for each term with the translations for that term, and MT translates whole phrases better than working word for word, it is not directly feasible to use MT with a 2-step RSV merging algorithm. To solve this problem, we have tested an algorithm which aligns the original query and its translation(s) at term level.
