    <Paragraph position="0"> Dictionaries and word translation models are used by a variety of systems, especially in machine translation.

The techniques rely upon lexical and syntactic similarity of languages as well as on the fact that building dictionaries for several pairs of languages provides information about other pairs.</Paragraph>
