    <abstract>This paper describes the University of Edinburgh‘s spoken language translation (SLT) and machine translation (MT) systems for the IWSLT 2014 evaluation campaign. In the SLT track, we participated in the German\ensuremathłeftrightarrowEnglish and English→French tasks. In the MT track, we participated in the German\ensuremathłeftrightarrowEnglish, English→French, Arabic\ensuremathłeftrightarrowEnglish, Farsi→English, Hebrew→English, Spanish\ensuremathłeftrightarrowEnglish, and Portuguese-Brazil\ensuremathłeftrightarrowEnglish tasks. For our SLT submissions, we experimented with comparing operation sequence models with bilingual neural network language models. For our MT submissions, we explored using unsupervised transliteration for languages which have a different script than English, in particular for Arabic, Farsi, and Hebrew. We also investigated syntax-based translation and system combination.</abstract>
