2. The method of claim 1 and further comprising:
identifying a highest translation probability calculated; and
identifying a linguistic pattern, for which the highest translation probability was calculated, as indicative of a likely phrase translation of the phrase in the first language.

accessing a bilingual data store that includes linguistic patterns in the second language associated with phrases in the first language.
12. A natural language processing system, comprising:
a pattern engine receiving a phrase in a first language and identifying a plurality of linguistic patterns in a second language possibly corresponding to a translation of the phrase from the first language to the second language; and
a probability generator configured to generate, for each linguistic pattern identified, a translation probability for translating the phrase in the first language to the second language in the linguistic pattern.
13. The system of claim 12 wherein the pattern engine, comprises:
a bi-lingual data store storing phrases in the first language and corresponding linguistic patterns in the second language.
14. The system of claim 13 wherein the probability generator comprises:
a translation model, the probability generator being configured to generate the translation probability by accessing the translation model.
15. The system of claim 14 wherein the probability generator further comprises:
a language model in the second language, the probability generator being configured to generate the translation probability by accessing the language model.
16. The system of claim 15 wherein the probability generator is configured to:
identify a highest translation probability calculated; and
identify a linguistic pattern, for which the highest translation probability was calculated, as indicative of a likely phrase translation of the phrase in the first language.
