  abstract  = {In this paper, we present the first attempts to develop a machine translation
	(MT) system between Spanish and Shipibo-konibo (es-shp). There are very few
	digital texts written in Shipibo-konibo and even less bilingual texts that can
	be aligned, hence we had to create a parallel corpus using both bilingual and
	monolingual texts. We will describe how this corpus was made, as well as the
	process we followed to improve the quality of the sentences used to build a
	statistical MT model or SMT. The results obtained surpassed the baseline
	proposed (dictionary based) and made a promising result for further development
	considering the size of corpus used. Finally, it is expected that this MT
	system can be reinforced with the use of additional linguistic rules and
	automatic language processing functions that are being implemented.},
