As our preordering approach were combined with the short rule [1], long rule [2] and tree rule [3] based preordering approaches, it showed further improvements of up to 0.43 in BLEU score in the English-to-Chinese translation direction and further improvements of up to 0.3 in BLEU score in the Chinese-to-English translation direction. Through the translations that used our preordering approach, we have also found many translation examples with improved syntactic structures.",
