As you say, the number's in the input sentence would be unknown. However, the reason to use placeholders is to make them known to the LM and phrase-table so that they can have more accurate scores for them
Therefore you need to replace numbers in your input sentence with placeholders. You can then use the word alignment from the decoder to put the number back. This is something I want to implement better in the decoder. So if you, or anyone, is willing help me and contribute some time & code, I can help out.
