A method, an apparatus and an article of manufacture for determining a dropped pronoun from a source language. The method includes collecting parallel sentences from a source and a target language, creating at least one word alignment between the parallel sentences in the source and the target language, mapping at least one pronoun from the target language sentence onto the source language sentence, computing at least one feature from the mapping, wherein the at least one feature is extracted from both the source language and the at least one pronoun projected from the target language, and using the at least one feature to train a classifier to predict position and spelling of at least one pronoun in the target language when the at least one pronoun is dropped in the source language.
