Ideally you have much more training data than this. The Europarl
corpus is around a million sentence pairs.

Same format, size should be 500-2000 sentences or so.

Same format, size should be 500-2000 sentences or so.

to specify the extensions of the foreign (input) and english (output) files.

no. that one is the lexicalized reordering model.

yes.
