The Value of Monolingual Crowdsourcing in a Real-World Translation Scenario: Simulation using Haitian Creole Emergency SMS Messages

MonoTrans2 is a translation system that combines machine translation (MT) with human computation using two crowds of monolingual source (Haitian Creole) and target (English) speakers. We report on its use in the WMT 2011 Haitian Creole to English translation task, showing that MonoTrans2 translated 38% of the sentences well compared to Google Translate's 25%.
