Consider the following sentence pair.

I declare resumed the session of the European Parliament adjourned on  
Friday 17 December 1999

Ich erkläre die am Freitag, dem 17. Dezember unterbrochene  
Sitzungsperiode des Europäischen Parlaments für wiederaufgenommen

This sentence can be reduced to the following templates:

I declare resumed the session of the European Parliament adjourned on ___

Ich erkläre die am ___ unterbrochene Sitzungsperiode des Europäischen  
Parlaments für wiederaufgenommen

Given a set of candidate tokens for such template could the current  
implementation of Giza++ figure out which template pairs align or do  
you think the code would need serious modifications?

I hope this made my question clearer.
