چکیده

We present an approach to the machine translation of French to Arabic in which we explain each of the different steps and some of the problems encountered at each level of linguistic analysis together with their solutions. We show that for high quality translation, an approach which is both global and proper to the couple French to Arabic is necessary, and we compare our approach with existing ones (direct, transfer, pivot, statistical). The fact that we have two languages which are linguistically distant requires that certain linguistic phenomena that are specific to the couple must be analysed, such phenomena not necessarily being found in other language couples.
