We describe an approach to automatically learn reordering rules to be applied as a preprocessing step in phrase-based ma- chine translation. We learn rules for 8 dif- ferent language pairs, showing BLEU im- provements for all of them, and demon- strate that many important order trans- formations (SVO to SOV or VSO, head- modifier, verb movement) can be captured by this approach.
