Alignment using MT?

I wonder whether anybody ever tried to use MT and something like BLEU to improve alignment results?

I envision a source and a target text (already translated, to be aligned), then Source gets machine translated, so we have three texts: SourceHT, TargetHT, TargetMT

  1. Calculate BLEU scores for all TargetHT and TargetMT segments. (The relationship from SourceHT and TargetMT (as in matching segments) is known, of course.)
  2. Align TargetHT to SourceHT based on BLEU scores.

This would be especially useful if you could use your trained custom MT or an MT with glossary.
