i'm not the xml preprocessing guy for moses, but i don't think marking up the 
input does, or should, change the phrase table.

yes - the markup is primarily used to tell the decoder to avoid certain words, 
or give extra info to translate them.

but it might be a good idea to learn from the markup

I have a short question concerning the XML markup in Moses.
What happens in the phrase table if I mark up some entity as say, 
type=person>Britney Spears ?

Is there a way to generate such phrase pair as:
Britney Spears is a great singer 
type=person>Britney Spears est une grande chanteuse  ?
... while actually learning:  is a great singer
 est une grande chanteuse  ?

(allright , with low probabilities associated)

Or should I consider this being two different issues: 1) marking some
phrases as entities (with XML markup, in order for example not to translate
them)
2) generalise the relevant phrase pairs (by adding an ENTITY_PERSON *factor*
maybe) ?

Thanks

Loic
