Abstracts: The goal of the Speech-to-Speech Translation (SST) is to enable real-time, interpersonal communication via natural spoken language for people who do not share a common language. It aims at translating a speech signal in a source language into another speech signal in a target language. The evaluation of SST systems can be considered as an extended task of MT evaluation (namely Spoken Language Translation, SLT), in including speech recognition and speech synthesis in the evaluation loop as an end-to-end evaluation. The Speech Translation uses the Speech Recognition, Machine Translation and Text-to-Speech technologies.
