Dear Laurentia,

ss you can read somewhere in the moses manual
-the parameter "-f" tells you which is the source language
-the parameter "-e" tells you which is the target language

The names "-f" and "-e" do not relate with French and English specifically, but 
to generic languages

assuming that your parallel corpus have the suffixes ".fr" and ".en" for French 
and English respectively
the right  command line to train an English-to-French system is

nohup nice 
tools/moses-scripts/scripts-YYYYMMDD-HHMM/training/train-factored-phrase-model.perl
 -scripts-root-dir tools/moses-scripts/scripts-YYYYMMDD-HHMM/ -root-dir work 
-corpus work/corpus/news-commentary.lowercased          -f en         -e fr     
    -alignment grow-diag-final-and -reordering msd-bidirectional-fe -lm 
0:3:/home/jschroe1/demo/work/lm/news-commentary.lm >& work/training.out &


Your modified command does not modify actually anything, but the source 
language which you set to "id". Is "id" the suffix of your source language?


best regards,
Nicola

Is it possible to translate with moses from English to any Foreign language?

because I tried using moses, and at "Sanity Check Trained Model" step, the 
result of best translation always UNK (English-Foreign), but if I translate 
from Foreign-English, it's work fine

I modified Train Phrase Model into:
nohup nice 
tools/moses-scripts/scripts-YYYYMMDD-HHMM/training/train-factored-phrase-model.perl
 -scripts-root-dir tools/moses-scripts/scripts-YYYYMMDD-HHMM/ -root-dir work 
-corpus work/corpus/news-commentary.lowercased -e en -f id -alignment 
grow-diag-final-and -reordering msd-bidirectional-fe -lm 
0:3:/home/jschroe1/demo/work/lm/news-commentary.lm >& work/training.out &


the original was:
nohup nice 
tools/moses-scripts/scripts-YYYYMMDD-HHMM/training/train-factored-phrase-model.perl
 -scripts-root-dir tools/moses-scripts/scripts-YYYYMMDD-HHMM/ -root-dir work 
-corpus work/corpus/news-commentary.lowercased -f fr -e en -alignment 
grow-diag-final-and -reordering msd-bidirectional-fe -lm 
0:3:/home/jschroe1/demo/work/lm/news-commentary.lm >& work/training.out &


I've build language model for my foreign language, not English-language-model. 
Is there anything I missed here?

Laurent
