Abstract
In previous work we have shown results of a first experiment in Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) for Brazilian Portuguese and American English using state-of-the-art phrase-based models. In this paper we compare a number of training and decoding parameter choices for fine-tuning the system as an attempt to obtain optimal results for this language pair.
