A method adapted to multiple corpora includes training a statistical machine translation model which outputs a score for a candidate translation, in a target language, of a text string in a source language. The training includes learning a weight for each of a set of lexical coverage features that are aggregated in the statistical machine translation model. The lexical coverage features include a lexical coverage feature for each of a plurality of parallel corpora. Each of the lexical coverage features represents a relative number of words of the text string for which the respective parallel corpus contributed a biphrase to the candidate translation. The method may also include learning a weight for each of a plurality of language model features, the language model features comprising one language model feature for each of the domains.
