    <abstract>We present the TÜBİTAK-UEKAE statistical machine translation system that participated in the IWSLT 2008 evaluation campaign. Our system is based on the open-source phrase-based statistical machine translation software Moses. Additionally, phrase-table augmentation is applied to maximize source language coverage; lexical approximation is applied to replace out-of-vocabulary words with known words prior to decoding; and automatic punctuation insertion is improved. We describe the preprocessing and postprocessing steps and our training and decoding procedures. Results are presented on our participation in the classical Arabic-English and Chinese-English tasks as well as the new Chinese-Spanish direct and Chinese-English-Spanish pivot translation tasks.</abstract>
